An Iowa City woman has been arrested after she allegedly used a juvenile to complete a drug deal for her.
Police say the incident occurred the evening of May 9th at Mercer Park. 18-year-old Bernice Johnson of Catskill Court reportedly contacted a juvenile male using Snapchat to arrange to distribute 3.3 grams of marijuana to an adult male.
During their investigation, officers located the 3.3 grams in the buyer’s vehicle.
A warrant for Johnson’s arrest was requested on September 7th; she was arrested Monday and charged with Use of a Minor in Drug Trade and Solicitation to Commit a Felony. If convicted on both counts, Johnson could be sentenced to up to 35 years in prison.
