A Van Buren County man is in custody following an arrest on drug-related charges.
According to the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office, 26-year-old Aaron L. Williams was arrested Tuesday morning around 8 o’clock on a Van Buren County arrest warrant. Williams faces two counts of possession of a controlled substance—methamphetamine and marijuana—and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Authorities say the charges stem from a prior incident on December 4th of 2025 at a residence in the 200 block of East Cedar Street in Birmingham, where Williams was arrested on an unrelated Jefferson County warrant. During that arrest, a search reportedly revealed suspected controlled substances in his pockets.
The items were seized and sent to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation crime lab, where testing confirmed the substances to be methamphetamine and marijuana.
Williams remains in custody. The Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office reminds the public that all criminal charges are accusations, and defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
