A Coralville man faces charges that he attacked an Iowa City Police officer after getting kicked out of a bar.
Officers were called to The Vine on East Prentiss Street just before 6:30 Tuesday night for two subjects refusing to leave. Investigators asked one of the men, 51-year-old Francisco Sanchez-Valdez of the Western Hill Estates manufactured housing community, to identify himself. He refused and began to walk away.
Officers attempted to stop Sanchez-Valdez, but he allegedly tensed up, resisted, and attempted to pull away. Police say he was given several orders to stop resisting, but instead he kicked them and kept fighting back.
