Edward J. Urban was charged Tuesday with one count of possession with intent to deliver, which carries a five-year prison term. He was previously arrested in 1989 for possession of a controlled substance and convicted of that offense. As a repeat offender, he could serve up to 10 years if found guilty on the most recent charge, according to the criminal complaint. West Bend police officers responded to a call about a disturbance at the man's home Thursday in the 800 block of Eastern Ave., according to the complaint. When police arrived, they found what they believed to be marijuana on a table in the home, according to reports. Officers obtained a search warrant and discovered 2 pounds of marijuana in the home. Deputy District Attorney Todd Martens asked for cash bail, citing the seriousness of the penalties and the amount of the marijuana. "Officers found 2 pounds of marijuana packaged in a manner consistent with delivery," he said. "There was evidence of a significant grow operation and a large amount of U.S. currency found." Urban remained in custody in lieu of $500 bail. His next court date is June 30. Appeared in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on June 23, 1999. - --- MAP posted-by: Derek Rea
