An Iowa City man is facing prison time after officers conducting a traffic stop allegedly turned up crack cocaine.
According to the arrest report, 60-year-old Anthony Howard of Wayne Avenue was stopped near his home the evening of November 3rd because his 2003 Ford Econoline van had no license plates. A K9 allegedly indicated the presence of narcotics inside, and a probable cause search was conducted.
Over 40 grams of crack cocaine was found in a sandwich bag, individually packaged for sale. Both Howard and a passenger in the vehicle denied ownership of the drugs.
Howard was charged with a Class B Controlled Substance violation, a Drug Stamp violation, and Keeping a Vehicle for Controlled Substances. If convicted on all counts, he could be sentenced to up to 32 years in prison.
