In a case of mistaken identity, Iowa City police drew guns on the defensive tackle on Wednesday afternoon. We're happy he's okay, but we need to talk.
Late last week, Iowa DT Faith Ekakitie wrote a note on Facebook detailing an encounter with the Iowa City Police Department on a Wednesday afternoon—one that, for him, began with several gun barrels in his face:
Today I was surrounded and searched by approximately five Iowa City Police Officers. My pockets were checked, my backpack was opened up and searched carefully, and I was asked to lift up my shirt while they searched my waistband.
