The Iowa Department of Public Safety says Craig Hunt was arrested around 1:45 a.m. Tuesday at an apartment complex and taken to Polk County Jail. Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment on Hunt’s behalf.

The Iowa State Patrol says Darquan Jones was attacked around 10:20 p.m. on Aug. 21 near the southwest corner of the Midway. He was taken to a hospital for treatment of two stab wounds and has since been released.
