On February 3, 2016, 45-year-old Marla Davis was arrested for felony charges including 2 counts of Inducing Witness to avoid Testifying and 3 counts of Threatening to Cause Physical Injury. Davis was booked at the Camp Verde Detention Center and remains in-custody.
In January, Yavapai County Sheriff’s detectives from the Partners Against Narcotics Trafficking (PANT) task force received information indicating that Davis, a West Yavapai Guidance Clinic (with offices in Prescott/Prescott Valley) case manager was selling heroin and methamphetamine.
Davis admitted using methamphetamine a couple of days prior and acknowledged selling drugs on occasion to ex-clients from the guidance clinic.
Davis was booked at the Camp Verde Detention Center on charges including Possess Narcotic Drug for Sale, Possess Dangerous Drug for Sale, Possess/Use Dangerous Drug, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Money Laundering. She was released on a $25,000 bond. Davis has since been terminated from any duties at West Yavapai Guidance Clinic.
Detectives are now asking anyone with additional information regarding the activities of Davis in light of the current and prior charges to call YCSO at 928-771-3260, or Yavapai Silent Witness at 1800-932-3232. If you have information about those employed in the field of guidance drug counseling/rehabilitation who may be engaged in similar activity, detectives would like speak with you also.
If you wish to remain anonymous, please contact Yavapai Silent Witness. In recent weeks, PANT detectives developed information that Davis was involved in a plan to intimidate witnesses related to her previous arrest on January 8, 2016, on several drug charges.
