Over the last few months, Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office detectives have been given information about a methamphetamine seller and distributer, James Crawford, of Rimrock.
Crawford is a prohibited possessor.
After gathering enough information to obtain a search warrant, detectives searched, Crawford’s residence on Monday evening. Detectives found two loaded handguns, an ounce of meth, as well as scales and drug paraphernalia.
Crawford was taken into custody and charged with possession of a firearm as a prohibited possessor, possession of a firearm during a drug offense, possession of dangerous drugs for sale, possession of dangerous drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Crawford has also been a suspect in a weapons misconduct in the Village of Oak Creek in July where he was in possession of a Winchester shotgun. Charges are being filed in that case as well.
