Attending a party at an Airbnb east of Shueyville that was allegedly promoted on social media as having marijuana present has led to the arrest of a Cedar Rapids woman with a lengthy criminal history.
23-year-old Ireonna Parks of Eastern Road SW was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 12:15 Monday afternoon. Iowa City Police say officers arrived at the party on 120th Street on the night of February 17th of last year. They say they recovered 163 grams of marijuana and four firearms. Parks, who was allegedly at the party, reportedly fled as officers arrived. Police say they have since found photos of Parks attending the party.
Parks is charged with Gathering Where Marijuana is Being Used. If convicted, she faces a maximum of one year in jail.
Parks is already facing a February 6th plea hearing on Forgery and Malicious Prosecution charges out of Black Hawk County. She also has a February 12th trial scheduled for an Operating While Intoxicated charge out of Linn County. Parks was also given a suspended sentence on a 2nd Degree Theft charge out of Scott County in 2023, and she has numerous convictions for Driving While Barred.
