Iowa City Police say a downtown assault suspect had defecated in his own pants upon his arrest.

Officers were called to the Sports Column on South Dubuque Street just after 1:15 Saturday morning for an unruly subject who had been kicked out of the bar. The suspect…identified as 19-year-old University of Iowa student Haydn Mahoney of Wheaton, Illinois…had reportedly punched a bouncer in the face.

His breath alcohol level was measured at .195%.

Mahoney is charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury, Public Intoxication, Possession of a Fictitious Driver’s License and Interference With Official Acts. If convicted on all charges, he faces a maximum of 26 months in jail.
