Iowa fans cited for restroom sex during Gophs game

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — While the Hawkeyes were stomping the Gophers on the Metrodome field last weekend, police say two Iowa fans were having a romp of a different kind in a restroom.

Both events, police say, had their share of cheering fans.

A 38-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man from Carroll and Linden, Iowa, respectively, turned to a handicapped stall for their tryst Saturday evening.

On the field, the Hawkeyes were on their way to 55-0 trouncing of the Gophers. In the restroom, a crowd of intoxicated fans gathered to cheer the off-the-field event.

Eventually, a security guard tipped off University of Minnesota police. Officers had to interrupt the couple to cite them for indecent conduct, a misdemeanor.

Police Chief Greg Hestness says the woman initially gave a false name to officers. She was released to her husband and the man was released to his girlfriend.

Both people in the stall were intoxicated.
