Yuma drug bust turns up Washington runaway

On Friday, August 8, 2014, at approximately 6:45 a.m., the Yuma County Sheriff’s Narcotic Task Force, with the assistance of the U.S. Border Patrol Canine and Intel Unit, served a search warrant at 560 N. Somerton Avenue #71 in Somerton, AZ. Multiple citizen complaints reporting activity consistent with narcotics activity led to the narcotics investigation.

The search warrant resulted in the seizure of methamphetamine consistent with sales, marijuana packaged for sale, cash, and various paraphernalia consistent with illegal drug use and sales. Also found during the search was a loaded handgun which had been reported as stolen, and a 17 year old runaway juvenile out of Washington State.

Michelle Greco, 35, was arrested and booked into the Yuma County Detention Center for possession of a dangerous drug for sale, possession of marijuana for sale, being a prohibited firearms possessor and using a firearm in commission of a drug offense.

Jeromy Morino, 33, was arrested and booked into the Yuma County Detention Center for an unrelated misdemeanor warrant.

The 17 year old juvenile was taken into custody by the Department of Child Services pending arrangements to return the juvenile to their guardians.
