A hug has landed an Iowa City man in hot water.
An Iowa City man who thought a police officer just "needed a hug" faces several charges including assault on a peace officer and public intoxication.
Police say 21-year-old Luke Schreder was arrested on Saturday.
According to police records, Schreder ran up to the 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. He was then handcuffed.

KEYWORDS: drunk; hugs; police
Just 'cause a guy has a badge and a gun, that doesn't mean you're allowed to hug him.
And take my word for it - Don't even THINK about a "surprise-butt-squeeze.

My policy was, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader in uniform had full hugging rights. Anyone else was case-by-case basis.

My rule is to never make eye contact with a cop unless you want to go to jail.
This goes beyond that by multiples and the perpetrator deserves all he will get.

That sort of thing should only be attempted on National Hug a Policeman Day.
And I heard that the measure failed to pass congress.

Aw, they have great senses of humor. Ever hear of a Japanese trick called
"Kancho"? That's where you place your palms together, point your index fingers, and stick them up someone's...uh, you get the picture. Sort of like a "goose" in English. Hilarious! And cops love it.
Or so I've heard. I've never actually tried it. Could someone please do so and get back to us?

if a woman did the exact same thing to a cop, nothing would have happened.
To: IDontLikeToPayTaxes
That depends; some women would be ipso facto GUILTY! I won't post a Helen Thomas pic - I am a just and merciful man - but you get the idea. :-)

The press reports do not identify the cop’s gender, but the police arrest blotter shows that the arresting officer was Becki Sammons.
