Two Keokuk men were arrested Wednesday on felony and misdemeanor drug charges by the Lee County Narcotics Task Force.
Darryl Floyd Azbill, 49, and Robert Harry Mills, 43, both of 412 N. Ninth Street, Keokuk, were arrested at their residence.
Azbill is charged with possession of a controlled substance, second or subsequent offense (methamphetamine), a class D felony; possession of drug paraphernalia, a simple misdemeanor; and maintaining a drug house, an aggravated misdemeanor. If convicted, Azbill faces up to 7 years and 30 days in a state correctional facility.
