Woman charged with attempting to sell marijuana

An Iowa City woman has been accused of attempting to sell marijuana.

Mersadies Turner, 21, 2420 Bartelt Road No. 2C, was charged April 27 with a drug tax-stamp violation and a controlled-substance violation.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, officers executed a search warrant to search Turner’s apartment. Officers reportedly located roughly $1,000, 39 individual packages of marijuana, packaging materials, a digital scale, and a marijuana pipe in her bedroom.

Although Turner was not home at the time the search warrant was being executed, her driver’s license was located in the apartment — which indicated that the apartment is her current residence, the complaint said.

Drug tax-stamp violation and a controlled-substance violation are both Class-D felonies.
