OTTUMWA – An Ottumwa man is now facing multiple charges after a traffic stop last week.

Court records show that on March 28, at around 3:50am, the Ottumwa Police Department conducted a traffic stop on Church Street. 38-year-old Aidan Miller of Ottumwa was in the passenger seat of the vehicle that was stopped, and police said he had an active arrest warrant.

After opening the passenger side door, officers say they found two plastic baggies containing methamphetamine in the door pocket, at which point Miller admitted that the baggies were his. The total mass of the drugs was measured at 39 grams.

Miller was arrested and charged with three felonies, including intent to deliver methamphetamine (Class B Felony), possession of a controlled substance – 3rd or subsequent offense (Class D Felony), and failure to affix a drug tax stamp (Class D Felony). Court records show he has two prior drug convictions in 2012 and 2017. Miller is currently being held in the Wapello County Jail with a bond set at $25,000.
