Cedar Rapids man faces drug charges

A Cedar Rapids man faces several drug charges.

According to a North Liberty police complaint, Rodney Liberman, 41, was charged Tuesday with a controlled substance violation, possession of pseudoephedrine, and third-offense possession of a controlled substance.

Police officials reportedly followed a vehicle acting suspiciously and caught up with the car at a Gasby’s gas station. According to the report, police officials spoke with the driver, who was arrested.

Liberman reportedly consented to a search of his person but shoved something into his underwear.

After police officials reportedly found a marijuana joint in the car, officers reportedly searched the rest of the car, and Liberman ran off, throwing a bag that contained about 134 pseudoephedrine pills of various dosage units.

Possession of pseudoephedrine is considered a Class-D felony.

Third-offense possession of a controlled substance is considered a Class-D felony.

A controlled substance violation is considered a Class-C felony.
