Wrestler Telford charged with public intoxication

A Hawkeye wrestler has been charged with public intoxication.

According to the Iowa City police blotter, Robert Telford, 20, 648 Beachview Drive, was charged April 20.

Iowa City police responded to the Sports Column, 12 S. Dubuque St., at 11:56 p.m. after receiving a report of a disturbance, as reported by the Cedar Rapids Gazette. Witnesses allegedly reported a fight had taken place and Telford was found at Sports Column smelling strongly of alcohol, according to the Gazette.

Telford was reportedly wearing a wristband indicating that he was 21 and told officers he did not have an ID, according to the Gazette. He then reportedly located his ID, and when officers learned he was not 21, he was arrested.
