A Maricopa man faces several charges after his arrest Monday morning.

Matthew John Wix, 23, of Maricopa, had a warrant after allegedly failing to comply with an earlier court order.

He was arrested at around 9:13 a.m. by a Pinal County Sheriff’s deputy at PCSO on suspicion of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence of liquor, drugs or vapors. DUI with a blood-alcohol content of .08 or more, extreme DUI with BAC of .15-.20 and super extreme DUI with BAC over .20.

Wix was originally charged in November 2015 in a drug case. A warrant was issued in February. That warrant was quashed Monday.

Charges in Pinal County Superior Court are possession and use of drug paraphernalia and extreme DUI with a BAC between .15 and .19.
