An Iowa City man was arrested on a warrant stemming from a search of his apartment that allegedly found marijuana and Fentanyl.

Police executed a search warrant on the Quarters apartment of 25-year-old Kregory Warren on Highway Six East at around 5pm on January 20th. While officers were making entry into the apartment, Warren reportedly fled to his personal bathroom and flushed several bags of pills, commonly known as “M30s,” which are known to contain fentanyl. One pill didn’t make it, and officers sent It to the DCI lab, where it tested positive for fentanyl.

A further search of the residence allegedly turned up over 1300 grams of raw marijuana, over 600 grams of marijuana wax, over 100 grams of marijuana cartridges, and over 4000 grams of marijuana edibles.

An investigation reportedly determined that Warrant was getting the marijuana products through the Postal Service for re-sale, and was involved in a conspiracy with several others to distribute the fentanyl products.

A warrant for Warren’s arrest was issued June 8th; he was taken into custody on Thursday morning. He’s been charged with a Class C controlled substance violation, a Class D controlled substance violation, and Obstructing Prosecution. If convicted on all counts, Warren faces a prison term of up to 17 years.
