One man in jail after bottle incident

Iowa City police arrested a man after he allegedly injured two people with a broken beer bottle.

Jose Enrique Garcia Raymundo, 22, was charged June 5 with two accounts of willful injury causing bodily injury.

Officers were called to the scene after receiving reports of a fight.

According to police, Raymundo allegedly removed his shirt, approached a man, and “got up in his face.”

When the man’s wife fled to alert security officials, police said numerous witnesses saw Raymundo charge while wielding a broken beer bottle.

Officers said Raymundo allegedly cut the victim on the left arm and attacked a second person who tried to end the altercation.

Willful injury causing bodily injury is a Class D felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of $7500.
