A North Liberty man was taken into custody after allegedly being found in a residence without the homeowner’s permission.
Police were called to a home on Crippen Court Northeast Thursday just before noon for a welfare check of the dog grooming salon at the residence as the employee had not shown up for work. The homeowner was contacted and they gave permission to search the home.
Officers reportedly found 44-year-old Richard Lund passed out on a couch in the home’s basement and was detained.
A search of the residence allegedly turned up a meth pipe in the kitchen. A backpack within arm’s reach of Lund reportedly contained a meth water bong and a small amount of marijuana in a grinder. A marijuana vape pen was allegedly found on a table, also within Lund’s reach.
He was found to be the only person in the residence; the homeowner had not given Lund permission to be in the residence.
He was charged with Trespass, marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. Lund could be sentenced to up to 13 months in jail if convicted on all counts.
