    Supply of Pills recovered during Booking Search

    Yavapai County Sheriff's OfficeCottonwood AZ (July 1, 2020) – On June 25, 2020, around 7:45 PM, 44-year-old Jerry Allen was arrested in the 900 block of South Main Street, Cottonwood, and charged with 3 counts of Possession of Narcotic Drugs for Sales, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Promoting Prison Contraband. He was booked into the Camp Verde Detention Center and has been released on a $10,000 bond. 

    Over the past several weeks, detectives from Partner’s Against Narcotics Trafficking (PANT), developed information that Allen was involved in the ongoing sales of Fentanyl. On June 25, 2020, Allen was stopped for a moving violation by Cottonwood Police Officers in Cottonwood and PANT detectives were notified.  Allen was arrested based on the probable cause obtained after confirming his participation in the sale of fentanyl. He denied possession of any drugs on his person or in his vehicle. 

    During follow up, Allen claimed he did not use or sell fentanyl. After detectives confronted him with evidence of sales, he admitted personal use of fentanyl daily over the last few months and occasional sales of the pills which he obtains from sources in Phoenix. An initial review of phone records indicated Allen was purchasing several hundred dollars’ worth of fentanyl from the Phoenix source.

    Allen was transported to the Camp Verde Detention Center and during booking, he read and signed a notice warning that taking/possessing drugs/contraband into the jail is a violation known as Promoting Prison Contraband. During a pre-body scanner screening of Allen at the jail, detention officers recovered a bindle baggie containing 73 fentanyl pills secreted in his rectum. As a result, Allen was charged with Promoting Prison Contraband. 

    The number of pills seized along with several hundred dollars in Allen’s possession further substantiated Allen’s involvement in drug sales.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
