An Ottumwa man faces multiple drug charges following a traffic stop last week.
Aidan Miller, 38, has been charged with intent to deliver methamphetamine (Class B felony), possession of a controlled substance – third or subsequent offense (Class D felony), and failure to affix a drug tax stamp (Class D felony).
Court records say officers from the Ottumwa Police Department executed a traffic stop on Church Street on March 28 at 3:50 AM. Miller was in the passenger seat of the vehicle, and police said he had an active arrest warrant.
After opening the passenger door, officers allegedly discovered two plastic baggies containing methamphetamine in the door pocket in plain view. Authorities say Miller admitted the substance was his. The total weight of the drugs was 39 grams. Court documents show Miller has two prior drug convictions in 2012 and 2017.
Miller was arrested and transported to the Wapello County Jail. His bond has been set at $25,000.
