An Iowa City man who allegedly sold meth to an undercover officer has been charged with a controlled substance violation.
The incident reportedly occurred at the Davis Street residence of 60 year old Art Hess. Members of the Johnson County Drug Task Force conducted a controlled substance purchase of less than five grams of meth from Hess using a confidential source the evening of April 20th.
The suspected meth was sent to the DCI Lab and tested positive.
A warrant was issued for Hess’ arrest May 26th; he was booked at the Johnson County Jail Sunday night and charged with a Class C Controlled Substance Violation, punishable by a prison term of up to ten years if convicted. He remains in custody on $10,000 bond.
