A hug has landed an Iowa City man in hot water. An Iowa City man who thought a police officer just "needed a hug" faces several charges including assault on a peace officer and public intoxication.
Police said a 21-year-old man was arrested on Saturday. According to police records, the man ran up to the officer and stuck out his arms.
The officer told him to "get away," but the man didn't take the hint and embraced the officer.
When the officer told the man to put his hands behind his head, he refused. He was then handcuffed.
