Driving without headlights on just after the bars closed in downtown Iowa City has led to the arrest of a Georgia man on drug and weapon charges.
Police pulled over Kameron McGee of Douglasville Georgia on Linn Street between Iowa Avenue and Washington Street at 2:05 am Sunday because his headlights weren’t activated. Upon contact, the inside of his 2020 Chevy Malibu allegedly had the odor of marijuana, prompting a probable cause search.
Police allegedly recovered several packages of marijuana in the driver’s side door pocket, and a Glock 19 pistol under the driver seat.
McGee was arrested. He faces Marijuana Possession and Person Ineligible to Carry Dangerous Weapon charges, and could be sentenced to up to 2 years in jail if convicted on both counts.
