CR man faces charges

A Cedar Rapids man faces numerous charges after allegedly threatening several people with a knife downtown on Sunday, according to Iowa City police.

Ryan Tunk, 19, was charged with armed with a dangerous weapon with intent to use, a Class D felony, public intoxication, and disorderly conduct.

He was being held Sunday at the Johnson County Jail on $10,650 cash-only bond.

Tunk allegedly challenged several people to fight while wielding a blade in an alley on the 300 block of South Linn Street.

According to police reports, he also admitted to going into the alley to “settle the score” with someone.

Tunk had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.213, according to police.

Going armed with intent is a Class D felony, which is generally punishable by as much as five years in prison and a fine of no more than $7,500.
