A Cedar Rapids man was charged with a controlled-substance violation and distribution without a tax stamp.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, Andre Gervin Jr., 23, was charged March 2 with a controlled-substance violation and distribution without a tax stamp. Officers had previously received an anonymous tip about Gervin and approached him as he was getting off a bus, according to police officials.

After searching Gervin, police officials allegedly found two ounces of Ecstasy in tablet form and more than 100 separate tablets, the complaint said. Police allege that Gervin admitted it was Ecstasy and that he intended to sell it.

Distribution without a tax stamp is a Class-D felony, and controlled-substance violation is a Class-C felony.
