Cottonwood AZ (December 2, 2020) – On Wednesday, November 25, 2020, the Honorable Debora Phelan of the Yavapai County Superior Court sentenced David Alexander Bremner, 54, of Cottonwood, to state prison for a total of 14 years flat time. Bremner was found guilty on October 22, 2020 by a Yavapai County jury of possessing a large quantity of methamphetamine for sale, along with two other offenses.

The charges stem from July 26, 2019, when a deputy from the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office observed a Ford Taurus speeding and crossing over the gore line on the ramp from the General Crook Trail on Interstate 17. Bremner, who was a passenger in the vehicle, had an empty bottle of whiskey at his feet. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, a large quantity of methamphetamine, with an approximate street value of approximately $8,000, was found in a large plastic bag in the glove box. Additional drug paraphernalia was also found. Bremner admitted to the officers that the drugs and other items were his.

According to Yavapai County Attorney Sheila Polk, “Methamphetamine is a terrible drug that wreaks destruction on its users and can cause death. Locking up those who sell this poison on the streets of Yavapai County helps protect our residents from this devastating drug.”

According to the Spring 2020 Report of the Yavapai County Overdose Fatality Review Board (OFRB), accidental and undetermined overdose deaths in Yavapai County increased by 45% between 2018 and 2019. Deaths that listed methamphetamine in the cause of death doubled between 2018 and 2019, from 13 deaths in 2018 to 26 deaths in 2019.

The OFRB was formed in 2016 with the goal of determining recommendations to prevent accidental drug overdose deaths. The Board reviews selected, unintentional overdose cases, examining the Medical Examiner’s report, police report, mental health history, medical history and the legal history of the decedent.

As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
