    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.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
