University of Iowa Police have arrested an Iowa City man they say sold heroin, cocaine and other drugs throughout Johnson County over the last year.
35-year-old John Williams of Nex Avenue faces six Controlled Substance Violations, four counts of Failure to Affix a Drug Tax Stamp, and one count each of Person Ineligible to Carry Dangerous Weapons, Unlawful Possession of a Prescription Drug, and Possession of a Controlled Substance. UI Police say Williams was observed delivering cocaine and/or heroin to buyers at various convenience stores and parking lots in Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty between July and November of last year. A November traffic stop on Interstate 380 reportedly turned up cocaine, marijuana, Alprazolam and a loaded firearm in Williams’ vehicle.
If convicted on all charges, Williams faces a maximum of 78 years in prison.
