Two men are in custody after Pinal County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Task Force detectives discovered evidence of a possible drug house outside of Casa Grande.

Earlier this month, Pinal County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Task Force Detectives discovered evidence of a possible drug house outside of Casa Grande.

Detectives set up multiple undercover drug buys over the next several days from the suspects at this location, confirming the sale of dangerous drugs from the residence.
On 6/14, Detectives served a search warrant on the house, located near W. Woodruff Rd. and N. Manchester Rd.

Inside, Detectives found more than 900 Fentanyl pills, 38 grams of meth, drug paraphernalia, and multiple firearms.

The two suspects, 46-year-old Mark Arviso (a registered sex-offender,) and 34-year-old Kenneth Carlson were arrested and booked into the Pinal County jail on numerous drug and weapons related charges.

“These deadly drugs have no place in our communities. Stopping sales is our last line of defense before these illegal substances up in the hands of our loved ones,” said Sheriff Mark Lamb. “This is another example of the excellent work my Detectives do to keep drugs off our streets every day.”
