Authorities have accused a Coralville man of possessing drugs.

Eric McKillip, 45, was charged with possession of a controlled substance on Jan. 29.

According to online court documents, McKillip was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped for traffic violations.

The driver gave the officer permission to search the car, and a K9 did a air sniff of the truck, during which the K9 alerted the officer about the McKillip.

He said the officer had no right to search him but allegedly admitted to having a glass pipe in his front pants pocket as well as marijuana and methamphetamines in his billfold.

Possession of a controlled substance is a Class-D felony.
