IOWA CITY, Iowa – Anna Bacon-Silveira, a 39-year-old Iowa woman, is sobering up behind bars after becoming irate and going upside the head of a salon employee with a towel because she was denied service Tuesday afternoon.
Zender’s Salon & Spa employees denied Bacon-Silveira a bikini wax because they believed she was intoxicated. According to Iowa City cops, Anna became so upset she “assaulted an employee by snapping a towel at her.”
Bacon-Silveira fled the salon on foot, but was picked up by cops when she was spotted running behind the Iowa City Police Department headquarters, which is a block from Zender’s. Cops noted that a wobbly Bacon-Silveira “appeared to be very intoxicated admitted to having a few drinks.”
Although the employee was not injured, Bacon-Silveira was slapped with misdemeanor assault and public intoxication charges. She immediately pleaded guilty to both charges and was ordered to pay a $390 fine.
