An Iowa City man who was wanted on warrants from an incident earlier this month was arrested Monday morning.
Police say at around 5pm, they were called to the 400 block of Westwinds Drive on reports of a woman harassing a neighbor. While they were dealing with the situation, 31-year-old Adam Gibson was on the second floor, standing on the front porch of his condo watching his girlfriend getting arrested. He allegedly spat on the officers; one was reportedly hit on his pant leg, while the other got spit on his hat and back.
Gibson went inside his condo, and 911 dispatchers say that he kept calling them demanding that they let his girlfriend go. He allegedly wouldn’t stop, and was belligerent and cursed at dispatchers. Gibson is accused of calling in at least 24 times.
A warrant was requested for Gibson’s arrest, and he was taken into custody Monday. He’s been charged with two counts of Assault on Persons in Certain Occupations, and making a false 911 report. If convicted, Gibson could be sentenced to up to 25 months in jail.
Gibson also faces open charges of Driving while Barred as a Habitual Offender, 2nd degree Theft, 2nd degree Criminal Mischief, and 3rd Degree Burglary from an incident on December 20, 2020. Those charges carry an additional total of up to 17 years in prison if convicted.
