A Coralville man was arrested Sunday night after a park ranger allegedly found him smoking marijuana on a public beach.
The incident occurred at Bohemi Beach on the Coralville Reservoir in Solon at around 7:30 pm. A park ranger reportedly smelled marijuana coming from the beach and went to investigate. There, he found 20-year-old Jack Keller of East 2nd Avenue smoking something. No one else in the general area was smoking anything.
The ranger approached Keller and reportedly saw a tray commonly used for breaking up marijuana, covered in marijuana pieces. He asked Keller to give the tray to him, and then saw Keller’s open bag. The bag allegedly contained pipes, more marijuana, and paraphernalia.
Keller was arrested and charged with Marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. If convicted on both counts, he could be sentenced to up to 13 months in jail.
