Bullhead City Police MAGNET detectives and Mohave County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) deputies arrested John Frank Baxter, 57 of Bullhead City, for transportation of dangerous drugs for sale (methamphetamine).
On Saturday, January 20 at about 7 p.m., MCSO deputies conducted a traffic stop for speeding at Highway 95 and Lipan Drive in Fort Mohave. The driver, Baxter, did not have a valid driver’s license.
