Local man faces multiple drug charges

An Iowa City man faces numerous drug charges after Iowa City police executed a search warrant on his apartment Nov. 10, 2010.

According to a complaint by Iowa City police, officers went to the home of Matthew Ebeling, 21, 929 Iowa Ave. Apt. 15, during a drug investigation. The complaint said residents declined a consent search of the apartment, and police obtained a search warrant.

The complaint said officers searched the apartment and located approximately 3/4 pounds of high-grade marijuana, as well as $3,179 in cash, packaging materials, a digital scale, and other items of drug paraphernalia.

Another complaint in the series said officers determined, during the course of the investigation, that Ebeling invited people over to use drugs and that drugs were being used in the apartment shortly before officers arrived.

Ebeling is charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, gathering for use of drugs, keeping a drug house, and failure to affix a tax stamp to a taxable substance.
