Two adults have been arrested after University of Iowa Police say they were being driven around by a minor who was under the influence of marijuana.
Just after 9:15 Friday night officers conducted a traffic stop on a 1997 Lexus Sedan with Illinois plates that was being driven by a juvenile male on 1st Avenue near 5th Street in Coralville. UI Police say two 19-year-old passengers…Alex Hill-Todd of Lomax, Illinois and Kimberly Burkhardt of Fort Madison…admitted to smoking marijuana inside the car about a half-hour earlier while the juvenile was driving. Hill-Todd even allegedly admitted to having marijuana, a bong, and a pipe in his possession.
Investigators say the juvenile was visibly under the influence of marijuana. Hill-Todd and Burkhardt were arrested and charged with Child Endangerment and Possession of a Controlled Substance. If convicted on both counts, they each face a maximum of three years in prison.
Hill-Todd faces an additional charge of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail.
