Police said they arrested Sharockia McGuire when they served a search warrant on her apartment in the 1100 block of University Place on Thursday, July 26, 2012.  She was initially arrested for three Des Moines County warrants for felony delivery of crack cocaine.

All of the charges are felonies except maintaining a drug house, which is an aggravated misdemeanor.
