Man brought loaded gun to work
An Iowa City man faces multiple charges after allegedly bringing a loaded gun to work.
According to an Iowa City police criminal complaint, Luis J. Ramirez-Hernandez, of Finkbine Lane, brought a BB gun, a stun gun, and a loaded .357 revolver to work on Aug. 19. During work-related travel, Ramirez-Hernandez "was zapping" the stun gun at his co-worker, then stuck the barrel of the gun in the victim's ribs and asked how it felt, the complaint said.
Police said Ramirez-Hernandez admitted to bringing the gun to work after getting it from a "homie," then showed officers a photo of him holding the gun on his cellphone, stating it was the same gun he brought to work.
Ramirez-Hernandez was arrested at 1:32 p.m. Wednesday when police say a plain clothes detective in an unmarked car recognized him and, knowing his driver's license was barred, radioed to have a marked police car make the traffic stop at Highway 6 and Fair Meadows Boulevard. When he was pulled over, Ramirez-Hernandez was operating a white 2002 Ford Explorer and told the officer he was on his way to Muscatine to pay traffic fines, the complaint says.
