An Iowa City man has been charged with sending more than 500 text messages from a stolen cell phone. According to police, 21-year-old Christopher Smead took the cell phone from a locker room at a fitness center and used it without the owner’s consent. Smead sent the text messages all day Friday, before he was arrested and charged with fifth-degree theft. He was also charged with possession of an air pistol, a misdemeanor, for carrying it during a visit to the main library at the University of Iowa. Smead failed to appear in court after being charged with carrying the pistol. When he was arrested for the theft charge, he pleaded guilty and is currently serving a 30-day sentence for his offenses.
