Police: UI student bought bouncer's stolen license, tried to use it to get in bar

CEDAR RAPIDS - A  University of Iowa student was arrested over the weekend after a bouncer at the Union Bar in Iowa City recognized the license the student was using to get in as being his own license, which had been stolen a few months earlier, according to police.

Steven J. Fiorella, 19, is accused of trying to use the stolen license to get into the Union, 121 East College St., just before 1 a.m. Saturday, according to a criminal complaint. The victim is a bouncer at the Union, and police said he immediately recognized the license that Fiorella was using to be his.

The bouncer, according to police, said he previously filed a police report about items that were stolen from the Union in February. Fiorella admitted to buying the items at a party for $20 from an unknown person, according to the complaint.

He was released from the Johnson County Jail.
