IOWA in all liklihood has lost DJK(and perhaps others) for their bowl game

A little over a week ago, Derrell Johnson-Koulianos was named first-team All-Big Ten by the conference’s coaches.

Eight days later, the Iowa wide receiver finds himself in the midst of multiple narcotics “issues”.

According to Marc Morehouse of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Johnson-Koulianos was arrested by Iowa City Police and charged with multiple counts of possession of controlled substances, keeping a drug house and two counts of unlawful possession of a prescription drugs. He’s currently being held in the county jail ahead of a court appearance scheduled for Wednesday morning.

The Iowa City Press-Citizen said the criminal complaint filed against Johnson-Koulianos showed that police found cocaine, marijuana and prescription drugs inside his residence, as well as $3,000 in cash. The senior admitted he had used the drugs, and a subsequent urine test showed he had marijuana and other drugs in his system.

Head coach Kirk Ferentz said he is “highly disappointed to learn of the charges” and that “Derrell has been suspended from all team activities.” The Hawkeyes were selected to play Missouri in the Insight Bowl Dec. 28, and it would seem unlikely he would be available given the seeming severity of the charges.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) —Standout Iowa receiver Derrell Johnson-Koulianos managed to flash a smile during his initial court appearance Wednesday on drug charges that have shocked Hawkeye fans and left his future in doubt.
Johnson-Koulianos, Iowa’s all-time leading receiver and a fan favorite nicknamed “DJK,” is accused of keeping a drug house at his home several blocks from campus. He’s also charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana, and police said he tested positive for both.
Decked out in big glasses and sports jacket over a turtleneck, Johnson-Koulianos smiled for photographers as he entered the Johnson County courtroom. He stood with his hands behind his back as Judge Stephen Gerard read the seven charges against him and the potential jail time — up to 7 1/2 years — and fines he faces. He waived his right to a preliminary hearing and an arraignment date was not immediately scheduled.
He walked out of the courthouse without commenting and left in a car driven by defense attorney John Beasley, who also declined comment.
The 23-year-old receiver and his roommate, 21-year-old Brady Cooper Johnson, were charged on Tuesday after police officers raided their Iowa City home. Johnson-Koulianos was released from jail on Tuesday evening after posting $8,000 bond. Johnson made his initial appearance by video from the jail, where he was held on bail.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz suspended Johnson-Koulianos from team activities immediately on Tuesday after learning of his arrest, which came as Iowa begins to prepare to play Missouri in the Insight Bowl on Dec. 28.
Johnson-Koulianos, a senior from Campbell, Ohio, received first-team all-Big Ten honors from the conference’s coaches last month. He finished the regular season with 46 receptions for 745 yards and 10 touchdowns, becoming Iowa’s career leader in receptions and receiving yards in the process. He was the first player ever to lead the Hawkeyes in receiving his first three seasons.
Police say they found marijuana, more than $3,000 in cash, a digital scale and other items used to sell drugs throughout the residence. The player’s roommate, Johnson, was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and several other charges.
The criminal complaint against Johnson-Koulianos does not accuse him of dealing drugs. Instead, it says officers located cocaine residue, “small quantities of marijuana” in his bedroom, and a variety of legal painkillers and other pills for which he did not have prescriptions.
The complaint says Johnson-Koulianos agreed to take a urine test and tested positive for cocaine and marijuana.
He allegedly told officers he had used drugs, “he knew drugs were being used and likely sold out of the residence,” and they obtained “electronic media” showing him possessing cocaine. Johnson-Koulianos is charged with keeping a drug house in addition to possession of cocaine, marijuana and prescription drugs.

This is a BIG surprise to me, as I remember on one of the last Iowa broadcasts, Millen & McDonaugh were blowing him. Saying what a great guy he was, in the community, how he was raised by his adopted parents etc.
