Unhinged student who flipped Turning Point USA table gets arrested and faces 5 charges
A 19-year-old student is facing five charges after being identified as the person who flipped a Turning Point USA display table at the University of Iowa campus.
A TPUSA social media account posted video of the altercation where a smiling student walks up to the display table of hot chocolate and then overturns it before walking away. The TPUSA members then cheerfully begin to clean up the mess on the video.
‘While the outcome of these investigations are considered confidential, discipline is based on the severity of the violation.’
Authorities identified the suspect as Justin Pham Calhoon and booked him into the Johnson County Jail on Wednesday.
TPUSA reported that Calhoon was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct, fifth-degree criminal mischief, and two counts of third-degree harassment.
A university spokesperson confirmed the arrest to the College Fix.
“All Iowa students are expected to follow the Code of Student Life, which sets standards for student behavior and conduct,” Chris Brewer wrote. “While the outcome of these investigations are considered confidential, discipline is based on the severity of the violation.”
Cabot Phillips, an editor at the Daily Wire, then posted a video appearing to show the same person overturning a table before his event at the university.
“This same student literally did the exact same thing last week ahead of my event there,” he posted on social media.

That incident is from Oct. 25, according to the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety.
The student wore a dress in the second video, leading many to believe Calhoon identified as transgender.
Calhoon has no prior criminal history aside from a traffic violation.
A Blaze News request for comment to Turning Point USA was not immediately answered.

Female caught on video tossing cup of scalding coffee on McDonald’s manager, who suffers burns
A female was caught on video tossing a cup of scalding coffee on a McDonald’s manager in Michigan earlier this week — and the manager suffered burns as a result, MLive reported.
The incident took place Tuesday morning at a McDonald’s at 3700 Dixie Highway in Buena Vista Township, the outlet said. Buena Vista Township is a few miles east of Saginaw.
‘F**k you, b***h! Catch that hot-a** coffee!’
Buena Vista Township Police Detective Russ Pahssen told MLive that the female manager called 911 saying an angry customer assaulted her.
More from MLive:
The customer had placed an online order and sought a refund for two sandwiches, Pahssen said. Another patron recorded the last two minutes of the interaction at the restaurant’s front counter.
The manager handed the customer a coffee and tried pacifying her, while the customer claimed she had been there for more than an hour, the footage shows. The conversation reaching an impasse, the manager told the customer to have a great day and turned to walk away.
The female customer removed the lid from the coffee cup, threw the contents at the manager, and yelled, “F**k you, bitch! Catch that hot-ass coffee!” as she exited the restaurant, according to video of the encounter without redacted audio.
The video also shows the McDonald’s manager screaming after the coffee hits her body.
Pahssen told MLive the manager suffered minor burns; the outlet noted that the coffee burned her back and left arm.
Pahssen shared video of the assault on Facebook and asked the public to help identify the assailant, the outlet said.
“I must have gotten about 100 tips,” Pahssen noted to MLive. “Within about two minutes, we had her identified.”
The following is video of the encounter with redacted audio; the coffee toss takes place toward the end of the clip just after the 1:45 mark:
However, Pahssen said officers weren’t able to locate the 48-year-old suspect, MLive reported, adding that police have submitted paperwork to the Saginaw County Prosecutor’s Office, requesting she be charged with felonious assault.
Investigators did not name the woman Thursday because she had not been arraigned on any criminal charges, WJRT-TV reported.
