A late night line-cutting incident on the Ped Mall has led to assault charges against a central Iowa man.
The alleged victim told Iowa City Police that 24-year-old Caleb Cobbs of Des Moines had cut in line in front of him at the Marco’s grilled cheese cart just after 11:30 Saturday night. When the person confronted him, Cobbs allegedly punched him, chipping a tooth. Cobbs claimed the other subject cut in front of him, and reportedly admitted to punching the other person twice in the face.
Cobbs is charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury. If convicted, he faces a maximum of one year in jail.
