IOWA CITY - An Iowa City resident awoke to an unwanted visitor who threw up and started to undress himself in an apartment early Sunday morning.

Police said Mark A. Fleckenstein, 23, walked into an unlocked apartment on College St. around 6:30 a.m. where he threw up on the couch and himself. He then started to undress and make his way toward a bedroom when the resident discovered him, according to Iowa City police complaints.

Fleckenstein was told to leave the apartment many times, but continued wandering around inside and eventually the police were called, according to the criminal complaint.

Police said the responding officer said Fleckenstein had bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech, unsteady balance and smelled of alcohol.
Fleckenstein refused a breathalyzer test and was unable to tell police how he ended up in the apartment or where he had been drinking, police said.

Fleckenstein was arrested and charged with intoxication and trespassing.
