CORALVILLE (AP) - A Nevada man has been arrested for socking a Coralville police officer in the eye.

Police say in reports that officers responded to a Coralville hotel on Sunday to remove guests from a room. The reports say one of the occupants, 33-year-old Daniel Kasey of North Las Vegas, Nev., became "loud and vulgar."

Officers reported that Kasey continued to curse at them until he threw a sock at an officer, hitting the officer in the right eye. The reports say Kasey began fighting the officers after he was told he was under arrest.
