    Yavapai County Sheriff's OfficeCottonwood AZ (June 24, 2020) – During the middle of May, detectives from the Partner’s Against Narcotics Trafficking task force developed information regarding the sale of fentanyl pills from a motorhome parked on property in the 2400 block of South Cedar Lane, Cottonwood. Detectives verified a high volume of traffic at the location. Over the next few weeks, the investigation continued and specific individuals were identified who were involved in the drug sales. 

    Based on the information gathered during this time, detectives sought and obtained a search warrant for the motorhome. On June 22, 2020, around 8:30 PM, the warrant was served and 3 persons were detained inside the motorhome including 24-year-old Alec Ramsey, 23-year-old Areanna Newhall and 33-year-old Jimmie Treakle. All are from Cottonwood.

Ramsey was detained and found with a quantity of methamphetamine on his person. Treakle was also detained. Detectives found additional fentanyl pills and some methamphetamine along with associated paraphernalia throughout the motorhome.

Pills were purchased in the Phoenix area and she would use her unemployment pay and money provided by Ramsey to make those purchases. Newhall admitted concealing the baggie of fentanyl pills when detectives entered the motorhome.

    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.
