"I'm going to an after hours party dad, I don't need anything from you."

The officer said Trovas was exhibiting signs of intoxication, and Trovas was subsequently charged with public intoxication. This was Trovas' third public intox charge, the first two being Jan. 1, 2010 and May 16, 2011.


Another Iowa City man was charged with indecent exposure after a police officer caught him allegedly with his pants literally down in front of Joe's Place at 115 Iowa Ave Saturday night.

According to a criminal complaint, an officer on patrol at the 100 BLOCK of Iowa Avenue stopped and got out of his car after he saw a man with his pants around his ankles in front of Joe's Palace along with a group of four or five people. As he approached the scene, the man, Adam Webster Zwanziger, 35, of Iowa City, allegedly pulled his pants up and buttoned them.

The officer asked Zwanziger why his pants were down, and Zwanziger allegedly said that he "wanted his friends to see it."
