An Iowa City man is facing weapons charges after he was allegedly involved in a chase with a woman.
Officers were dispatched to the area of Muscatine Avenue and Court Street on report of a man chasing and yelling at a woman around in the 1am hour Tuesday. They caught up with the two in the 1200 block of East Burlington Street, identifying them using the description provided by the reporting party. After running court records, 20-year old Deon Brand of the Town and Campus Apartments was detained for violating a no-contact order with the woman.
Officers learned that Brand was in possession of a handgun while he was chasing the woman. She provided a description of the weapon and told them where he tossed it during the chase. They found it exactly where she told them it would be.
