Man hugs police officer, gets arrested

Luke Schreder thought the police officer looked like he just "needed a hug."

The police officer disagreed.

Schreder, 21, of 48 Denbigh Drive in Iowa City was arrested Saturday afternoon at 100 S. Dubuque St. for assault on a peace officer, public intoxication and interference with official acts.

According to police records, Schreder ran up to an officer and stuck out his arms. The officer told him to "get away," but Schreder didn't take the hint and embraced the officer.

When the officer told Schreder to put his hands behind his head, he refused. Officers got one handcuff on Schreder, but he wouldn't put his other arm behind his back to let them put the second handcuff on, according to the report.

Oh well, not everyone is a "hugger" haha.

What did this guy expect? For all that cop knew he could have tried to steal the cops gun or do something crazy.
