BULLHEAD CITY - At approximately 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, M.A.G.N.E.T. (Mohave Area General Narcotics Enforcement Team) detectives with assistance from the Bullhead City Police Department's SWAT team, Lake Havasu City Police Department and D.E.A. (Drug Enforcement Administration) executed a search warrant in the 4400 block of Rio Verde Drive in Fort Mojave.
During the past six months, M.A.G.N.E.T. detectives had received complaints from citizens about the primary resident, 44-year-old Warren Clay Green, selling large amounts of drugs at all times during the day and night.
Inside Green's bedroom, police found approximately 8 grams of methamphetamine, several glass pipes with burnt meth residue and more than $1,000 mostly in small bills.
During the search warrant, M.A.G.N.E.T. detectives answered Green's phone and asked the caller what he needed. The caller reportedly said he wanted to buy drugs and also mentioned he owed money for a previous purchase of methamphetamine.
Police also searched an R.V. that was parked on the property that belonged to 50-year-old Russell Robert White, according to a press release from the Bullhead City Police Department. Inside, police located equipment, glassware and all chemicals needed to cook methamphetamine.
Detectives believe the equipment was used to make meth within the past seven days. Approximately 3.5 grams of methamphetamine was also found in the R.V.
Russell White, of Fort Mojave, was arrested for manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of equipment/chemicals to manufacture methamphetamine, possession of dangerous drugs for sale, possession of dangerous drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Warren Clay Green, of Fort Mojave, was arrested for possession of dangerous drugs for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of stolen property and for altering a VIN (vehicle identification number).
Police located a 4-wheeler quad on Green's property that was reported stolen from California. The VIN had been removed with a sander.
Ryan William Shean, 19, of Bullhead City, was arrested on an outstanding misdemeanor warrant for drug charges. He was inside the residence during the time of the search warrant.
All three suspects were taken to the Mohave County Jail in Kingman. |
