Police arrested an Iowa City man Monday morning after an unrelated microwave fire led them to an apartment with marijuana.

Police say they responded to the residence of Horace D. Hamilton, 26, of 2722 Wayne Avenue Apt. #6 to assist with a fire call. Police say the fire call was regarding burned food in a microwave in Hamilton's apartment. While waiting for the fire department to get equipment, Hamilton allegedly shut and locked his apartment door, and when he opened it claimed that he didn't know he had to keep the door open. After this Hamilton consented to a search of his apartment, and police found a small bag of marijuana in the corner of the room.
