Authorities have accused a local man of trying to steal frozen food from a local residence.

Davon’te Coleman, 21, was charged Sunday with second-degree burglary, fifth-degree criminal mischief, assault, and public intoxication.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, officers were dispatched to a Davis Street residence after Coleman was reportedly seen trying to breaking in.

When authorities arrived, they reportedly observed Coleman trying to get into the house through the front window screen.

Coleman had allegedly entered the home through the back door and taken frozen food and tried to leave, the complaint said. There were three residents home at the time of the incident.

Second-degree burglary is a Class-C felony.
