An Iowa City man faces weapons and drug charges after a driving error brought him to the attention of police.

According to the arrest report, 21-year-old Dolan Morrison of Kountry Lane entered a do-not-enter traffic way near Capitol and Washington Streets just before 1:15 am Sunday. When officers made contact with him, the odor of marijuana was reportedly detected coming from the vehicle. A probable cause search turned up marijuana on Morrison’s person, and three loaded weapons were also found. Police say one of the weapons pertained to Morrison.

He’s been charged with first-offense Marijuana possession and Person Ineligible to Carry a Dangerous Weapon. If convicted on both counts, Morrison faces a maximum jail sentence of two years.
