A Clinton woman has been accused of committing assault causing bodily injury after an altercation in downtown Iowa City.

Jordan Miller, 19, was charged Jan. 18 with assault causing bodily injury after she allegedly fought another female at the Blue Moose Tap House, 211 Iowa Ave. According to a report by Iowa City police, Miller told law-enforcement officials that she "just lost it."

The report said Miller spit in the face of the victim and then punched her in the face, which resulted in pain, swelling, and a possible broken nose. According to the report, several people witnessed the fight, and independent witnesses identified Miller as the aggressor.

Miller then allegedly told officers that the fight had been "brewing" for some time and is "drama" related to a former boyfriend.

Assault causing serious injury is a serious misdemeanor.
