WASHINGTON (AP) - An Iowa man has been arrested on charges that he threw tomatoes at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a campaign stop at the University of Iowa.
Hayley Bruce, a University of Iowa spokeswoman, says 28-year-old Andrew Joseph Alemao was charged Tuesday with disorderly conduct after officers say they saw him throwing two tomatoes toward Trump during a speech.
YouTube video shows a tomato missing Trump at the podium by about a foot.
Secret Service and University of Iowa police officers arrested Alemao, and he was booked into jail.
Johnson County Jail officials say Alemao was released Wednesday morning without bond.
