Iowa City police say man showed up drunk for jail
Court Alerts
Authorities say an Iowa City man may not have picked the best time to get loaded when he showed up drunk to serve a public intoxication sentence.
Now he faces another charge.
Police say the 19-year-old showed up at the Johnson County Jail on Tuesday to serve his three-day sentence and officials smelled alcohol on his breath.
Court records say tests showed the man had a blood-alcohol content of 0.101 percent when he arrived at the jail.
A court date on the new charge hasn't been set.
Court records say the man pleaded guilty to public intoxication in May 2008 and was convicted of public intoxication second-offense last December.
