Maricopa Man Arrested For Drugs

Maricopa Man Arrested For Drugs – Tony Montana, Pablo Escobar, Carlito Brigante, El Chapo, Walter White. Drug kingpins both real and fictional. Masterminds of the drug trafficking trade and NOT the company we would put ole Eric Tysick in. Eric is DEFINITELY NOT the Walter White of Maricopa.

Eric was arrested for possessing methamphetamine and fentanyl after allegedly fighting with a woman in the middle of the frickin’ street.

On Oct. 30 (COINCIDENCE?), Eric Tysick was arrested on West Ganley Way for a probation violation warrant. OH, and also – drug paraphernalia, tampering with evidence, misconduct with weapons and possession of narcotics and dangerous drugs. Eric had been BUSY!

Maricopa Police responded to the area of West James Lane in reference to a man and woman fighting in the street.

Witnesses at the scene said the man (Eric) had left and come back with a crowbar. When police arrived, the witnesses pointed north down Jill Avenue, saying the man was running away. Officers observed him running and headed down Ganley Way, where he lay down behind a car in a driveway before being detained.

Officers did a check and found he had a warrant out of Yuma County for a felony probation violation with no bond. This warrant was confirmed, which is also an extraditable warrant. So a search incident to arrest was conducted.

Inside Tysick’s pants (ooo YUCK!) was a black container with 29 blue pills marked M30, most likely fentanyl. Inside a prescription bottle with Tysick’s name on it was a plastic drinking straw with a small piece of plastic. It contained what is allegedly thought to be 0.4 gram of methamphetamine. Not the BLUE STUFF either!

Masterfully hidden in a cigarette container our anti-hero, Eric, hid a piece of foil rolled into a straw with burnt residue. Most junkies are given to smoking the pills this way.

After being read his rights, officers showed Tysick these items. The police officers stated that he grabbed the plastic bag with the meth and put it into his mouth, trying to swallow it all down. Like a bad episode of Reno 911. Officers grabbed his mouth and eventually pried the drug from it. That can’t be fun. Remember Snoop Dog in Training Day? Like that but just not as cool. LOL.

Tysick, being the honest criminal mastermind that he is, said he was trying to get rid of the suspected drugs. After all, he didn’t want to get charged with them.

He also admitted he’d taken possession of Taurus .357 Magnum and Hellcat 9mm handguns from the woman. He did NOT make an attempt to swallow either the .357 Magnum NOR the 9mm Hellcat.

Tysick said he’d put one in his waistband and another in his pocket – ninja-style. He said he eventually gave them back to the woman but he’d kept the ammunition, which was found in his pocket.

It seems our mastermind Eric has had bad luck in 2022. This is AT LEAST his 2nd arrest, in Pinal County anyway.
