FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- The Northern Arizona Street Crimes Task Force is rounding up 26 suspected drug dealers following a five-month investigation in and around Flagstaff.
According to Sgt. Ryan Beckman, officers working the investigation conducted 42 undercover purchases of methamphetamine and heroin, resulting in arrest warrants for 26 suspects.
Sixteen of those suspects have been arrested and 10 remain at large.
Beckman said the 26 alleged drug dealers sold meth or heroin and face either charges of selling dangerous drugs or selling narcotic drugs.
The task force seized more than 102 grams of meth with a street value of $11,000, multiple surveillance monitors, $1,500 in cash and a Glock handgun.

Drug sting nabs 26 sellers

Local anti-narcotics agents are rounding up 26 people who have had warrants issued for their arrest in the wake of an operation targeting meth and heroin sellers in Flagstaff.
So far, 15 have been arrested.
Agents with the Metro street crimes task force conducted Operation Street Sweep over a five-month period, said Sgt. Ryan Beckman of Metro.
"We did not target users," Beckman said. "These are all people making money in the deal."
In all, 46 undercover "buys" of meth and heroin took place during the operation, Beckman said.
"We bought drugs from all 26 people," Beckman added. Of the 26 people identified, only one had a legitimate job, according to a search of a Department of Economic Security database.
During the arrests, $1,500 in cash, a handgun, 100 grams of meth and 4 grams of heroin were seized.
According to current Metro intelligence, meth and heroin both sell for about $120 a gram. Beckman added that prices will likely increase after the arrests and those currently selling who were not caught will likely be lying low for a while.
The operation began when confidential informants approached agents with information about drug sales in the city, Beckman said.
"It's a very loose cooperative that we found," Beckman said, adding that when agents would hit onto one drug seller, they'd be led to still others who knew one another.
According to information from the police department, the following were arrested on drug-sales charges:
-- Lisa Yazzie, 33
-- Emilio Aguilar, 52
-- Gabriel Guzman, 25
-- Lori Laird, 32
-- Jaime Avila, 34
-- Robert Trujillo, 41
-- Andre W. Holt, 57
-- Christina Robertson, 35
-- Antonio Martinez, 49
-- Mark Young, 35
-- Bruce Flebbe, 56
-- Renetta King, 38
-- Matthew Kraske, 26
-- James Salinas, 24
-- Aaron Hesse, 32
Beckman said the investigation is ongoing and officers are continuing to search for the remaining suspects wanted on arrest warrants.
"We're not going to stop drug sales in Flagstaff," Beckman said. "But by arresting 26 people, it's going to create a void -- at least in the short term."
The operation included assistance from the FBI, Customs and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Good, at least you admit that you fail at life while continuing to ruin others'.  Also, about that void you just created.. congratulations on creating more actual crime to go with it.

Of course if you stopped drug sales in Flagstaff that would shut down multiple sophisticated drug distribution operations simultaneously..for example CVS, Walgreens, the local liquor stores, etc etc.

All in all, it took them 46 undercover purchases over a five-month period with assistance from the FBI, Customs and the Drug Enforcement Administration to remove $1,500 in cash, a handgun, 100 grams of meth and 4 grams of heroin from the black market.
:rolleyes:
The void in supply will be filled in less time than it took them to conduct the investigation.

SuperD- you hit the nail on the head
