IOWA CITY - Just days away from its soft opening, the GuideLink Center drew praise Thursday from Gov. Kim Reynolds for the collaboration that made it and its integration of mental health and crisis intervention services possible.
North Liberty police have arrested the man who allegedly damaged the Fire Station on Sunday.
According to a news release from the city, an individual entered the North Liberty Fire Station on West Cherry Street around 12:15am. The man, now dentified as 30-year-old Robert Mlejnek of Park Ridge Drive in Coralville, broke a garage bay door window to get in. He’s then accused of causing about $5000 damage to equipment in the station.
Fire department staff, who were on duty at the station at the time of the entry, initially thought the person was seeking emergency medical attention. When it was reportedly clear that Mlejnek was intoxicated, they requested support from law enforcement. He allegedly stated he had been kicked out of a local bar and had a lot to drink.
