CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) — A Coralville man has been arrested on suspicion of probation violation after an officer found a woman hiding inside a suitcase in his home.

A probation officer was conducting a residence check at 29-year-old Ryan Leigh Ransom home on Wednesday.

Ransom had been ordered to have no contact with the woman as part of his probation.

Ransom is also charged with possession of a controlled substance.
