An admitted meth user accused of stealing a motorcycle allegedly laid the blame on a fellow meth user, then used Google to ask “how long meth stays in your system” in full view of a police officer.
An Iowa City Police officer reports observing 53-year-old Robert Perez of 1st Street making what he described as “non-sensical actions” on a 2009 Kawasaki while driving near the intersection of Court Street and Scott Boulevard just after 9:30 Thursday night. A traffic stop was initiated after a check of the license plate showed the vehicle had been stolen from elsewhere in Iowa City.
Perez allegedly claimed a fellow meth user had let him use the motorcycle, but he couldn’t remember the person’s name. He allegedly admitted to injecting meth five hours prior to the traffic stop. A post-arrest check of Perez’s person turned up multiple syringe caps in his pockets.
