COTTONWOOD, Ariz. (AP) - A Cottonwood man has been arrested and accused of selling narcotic drugs including fentanyl, according to authorities.
Yavapai County Sheriff’s officials said 19-year-old Dylan Mills has been booked into the Camp Verde Detention Center on suspicion of possession of narcotic drugs for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest.
Sheriff’s officials said task force detectives developed information that Mills was involved in the sales of fentanyl and staying at a Cottonwood motel.
They said when detectives approached Mills on Monday night, he dropped a can of iced tea and started running.
Authorities caught Mills, but he reportedly resisted arrest and was handcuffed.
Detectives reported the fake iced tea can actually contained 271 fentanyl pills with a street value of $7,000 and a half-gram of methamphetamine.
