A University of Iowa student is accused of urinating inside a northside convenience store, then passing out in the on-duty employee’s car.

According to arrest records, just after 3:15 Saturday morning Iowa City Police received a report of an intoxicated subject who had entered the Casey’s on North Dubuque Street, gone behind the counter and urinated on the floor. Arriving officers found the suspect passed out in the passenger seat of the clerk’s car. The 19-year-old UI student from Cedar Rapids reportedly showed signs of intoxication, could not recall his actions throughout the night and claimed the last thing he remembered was using a fake Michigan driver’s license to acquire alcohol at Brother’s.

The man is charged with Public Intoxication, 5th Degree Criminal Mischief, Possession of a Fictitious License and Providing False Evidence of Legal Age. If convicted on all charges, he faces a maximum of 15 months in jail.
