Shawn Rasmussen, 19, was charged on Nov. 1, 2013, with first-degree burglary and assault causing injury.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, officers responded to a report of an assault on Nov. 1.

They determined Rasmussen and other males were involved in an altercation previously in the night.

Rasmussen was identified as one of the males who entered the house, threw a small coffee table, and punched a person numerous times in the face, causing injuries.
