A North Liberty man faces decades in prison after a search warrant on his premises allegedly discovered a large amount of drugs.

The warrant was executed at the Western Hills Mobile Estates Park on West 2nd Street in Corlalville at 11:30 am Thursday.  During the search of two sheds and a vehicle on the property of 36-year-old Richard Casey, police reportedly turned up nearly 5400 grams of meth, 530 grams of cocaine, and a .22 caliber rifle.

Casey, whose address on the arrest report was listed at Greencastle Avenue NW in North Liberty, was taken into custody. He was charged with two Class B controlled substance violations, two counts of failure to affix tax stamp, and keeping premises for controlled substances.  If convicted on all charges, he could be sentenced to a maximum 61 years in prison.
