Davenport man had meth, stolen gun, police allege
A 35-year-old Davenport man is in custody after police allege he had meth and a stolen gun in his car, court records show.
Christopher Green faces felony charges of controlled substance violation, possession of contraband in a correctional institution, felon in possession of a firearm, and failure to affix a drug stamp, court records show.
Shortly before 12:30 a.m. Monday, Davenport Police saw two cars illegally parked in the alley to the south of the 900 block of Washington Street, affidavits say. One was a red 2013 Chevrolet Impala with no license plate and the other was a maroon 2006 Ford Focus, affidavits show.
Green said the Focus was his. Inside, officers saw a scale with methamphetamine residue in plain view on the center console and a bong with suspected burnt residue in plain view in the front seat cup holder.
During a search, officers found a Glock 23 pistol with a magazine of .40 S&W ammunition. Police discovered the gun was stolen.
Officers also found a container “disguised as a can of 7UP soda” with Green’s other property and brought into the jail booking area. Jail staff discovered it contained methamphetamine and notified officers.
Inside was a clear plastic bag with a total package weight of 3.25 grams of meth and a clear plastic bag with 28.05 grams of meth (unpacked weight,) affidavits say.
Green, who is being held on $40,000 bond in Scott County Jail, is set for a preliminary hearing Feb. 15 in Scott County Court.
