    On December 20, 2017, at approximately 4:30 PM, P.A.N.T. Detectives, assisted by a lead provided from the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, located Margerison in 900 block of S. Main Street in Cottonwood.

    His passenger, 24 year-old Aquilino Exposito IV, also of Page, was taken into custody as well after a usable amount of heroin, used syringes and other paraphernalia was found inside the vehicle.

    Both Margerison and Exposito were booked in at the Camp Verde Detention Center on charges including the felony warrant (Margerison), Possession of Dangerous Drugs (methamphetamine), Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of Narcotic Drugs (heroin) and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, respectively. Margerison remains in-custody on a $13,500 bond. Exposito is also still in-custody on a $3500 bond.

    “We are thankful for the information we receive on a daily basis from law enforcement and community members who provide us with the ability to further investigate these types of crimes. It reinforces the efforts and makes a statement that everyone shares a significant role in helping alleviate drugs from our communities, said P.A.N.T. Detective Sergeant Gareth Braxton.  He went on to say, “We are grateful for those relationships.”
