IOWA CITY - Four men were arrested Tuesday after Iowa City police found drugs and drug paraphernalia when executing a search warrant on a downtown apartment.
Edgar E. Avila, 20, of 514 S. Johnson St. No. 1, Iowa City, was arrested for keeping a drug house, possession of marijuana, drug tax stamp violation, and possession of cocaine with the intent to deliver.
Diego Cruz-Avila, 24, of 514 S. Johnson St. No. 1, Iowa City, was arrested for keeping a drug house, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, and drug tax stamp violation.
Gabriel Esquivel, 20, of West Liberty, was arrested for possession of marijuana; and Arnold J. Ruiz, 19, of 514 S. Johnson St. No. 1 was arrested for possession of marijuana.
Tuesday afternoon, the Iowa City Police tactile team served a high risk search warrant at the Johnson Street apartment. The men didn’t answer the door and authorities from the police department and the Sixth Judicial High Risk unit used a battery ram to open the door and a distraction device that sounds like an explosion.
Police found marijuana, cocaine, packaging materials and digital scales, drug paraphernalia, and Paxil tablets and the men were arrested Tuesday night.
All four men are being held at the Johnson County Jail.
