Iowa City Police say they’ve shut down a marijuana grow operation.

A search warrant was executed on the Kirkwood Avenue apartment of 39-year-old Ryan Cannon around 1pm on April 25th. Police say they found two grow tents containing multiple marijuana plants in various states of growth. A total of ten plants were seized, along with suspected marijuana seeds and a baggie containing an estimated 55 grams of suspected marijuana. No drug tax stamps were located.

Cannon is the apartment’s only listed resident. He was booked into the Johnson County Jail just after 6:15 Friday morning and charged with Failure to Affix a Drug Tax Stamp. If convicted, he faces a maximum of five years in prison.
