An Iowa City man was arrested this week after a search warrant executed earlier this month turned up evidence of drug dealing.
Police went to the South Van Buren residence of 24-year-old Troy Hepker in the midnight hour October 1st. The warrant covered Hepker’s residence and vehicle. After the search was executed, officers allegedly found nearly 300 grams of marijuana, drug ledgers, packaging material, and digital scales. A large amount of cash and four “scent-proof” duffel bags were also reportedly found.
Hepker allegedly admitted that he is involved in the sale of marijuana. After a warrant for his arrest was granted, Hepker was taken to the Johnson County Jail Wednesday night. He faces a Class D Controlled Substance violation, a Tax Stamp violation, and using his residence for the use or storage of drugs. If convicted on all counts, Hepker faces a prison sentence of up to twelve years.
