BULLHEAD CITY - The following is a press release from the Bullhead City Fire Department:
On Wednesday, July 2nd at approximately 5:30 a.m., 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, Arizona.
During the past 6 months, M.A.G.N.E.T. detectives had received numerous 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 located approximately 8 grams of methamphetamine, several glass pipes with burnt meth residue and over $1,000 in U.S. currency, consisting mostly of small bills, which is common for persons selling drugs. During the search warrant, M.A.G.N.E.T. detectives answered Green’s phone and asked the caller what he needed. The caller stated 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. Inside, police located equipment, glassware and all chemicals needed to cook methamphetamine. Detectives believe the equipment was used to make meth within the past 7 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 out of California. The VIN had been removed with a sander.
19-year-old Ryan William Shean 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.
