Public Safety I C police complaint sustained in Iowa City
Iowa City Community Police Review Board sustains complaints against two officers over a February interrogation of a unnamed woman at the police department. The board says Miranda rights should have been read and the interrogation halted after a lawyer was requested. The officers also allegedly mishandled the woman’s phone and interpreter procedures. The council will review the report and possible discipline remains undecided.
