A local man has been charged with first-degree harassment.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, Larry Billman, 45, 121 N. Van Buren No. 11, was charged Monday.

On April 22 at approximately 11 p.m., the victim allegedly confronted Billman about using the upstairs restroom. Billman had allegedly been told by property management to use the restroom on his own floor.

According to the complaint, Billman became angry and made several offensive, bigoted comments toward the victim. He also reportedly threatened to trash her room, pour bleach in her mouthwash, and slit her throat.

First-degree harassment is considered an aggravated misdemeanor.
