IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa wrestler Senior Ethen Lofthouse has been cited by police for shooting a duck with a bow and arrow outside of his residence. Iowa City police on Friday cited Lofthouse, a senior and a two-time All-American, for illegal hunting. The university says it’s aware of the situation and is working with Lofthouse through a process outlined in its student-athlete code of conduct.

This is the second incident involving Iowa wrestlers and illegal hunting in less than a year. Freshmen Connor Ryan and Alex Meyer were suspended from the team last November after they were arrested for illegally hunting rabbits on campus.
