According to a criminal complaint from the Johnson County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a medical call at 1950 Scales Bend Road at 10:52 p.m. Wednesday.

Iverson had glassy eyes, thick speech, and was unsteady on his feet, according to police. He admitted to drinking and indicated impairment during a field sobriety test, but refused a breath test.

Iverson is charged with second offense drunken driving, an aggravated misdemeanor. He has a previous drunken driving charge from 2011.
