A Coralville man faces eight drug-related charges after being arrested by Iowa City police last week.

Jordan Dale Arneal, also known as "Gumby," 23, was charged April 21 with two counts of unlawful possession of prescription drugs, possession of a controlled substance, keeping or permitting use of a controlled substance in a residence, controlled-substance violation, ongoing criminal conduct, possession of drug paraphernalia, and a drug tax-stamp violation.

Police reports said officers went to Arneal’s home as part of a drug investigation stemming from May 2010 — when he told police he sold narcotics for another suspect.

In September, reports said officers gained consent to search Arneal’s residence for a different investigation and reportedly found 193 grams of marijuana, cocaine, unidentified prescription pills, drug paraphernalia, and cash.

Officials said Arneal has three prior marijuana convictions.
