William T. Wall was wanted on a warrant. When police found him, he was also allegedly in possession of marijuana and told officers he was selling it instead of working.
On Feb. 23, Maricopa Police officers found Wall asleep in a vehicle parked on North Donithan Way shortly before 10 a.m.
After confirming his identity, Wall was identified as a person wanted on two warrants out of Ak-Chin PD and Western Pinal Justice Court and another out of Maricopa County. The warrants were on charges of drug/marijuana possession with the intent to deliver and failure to appear in court.
When the door of the vehicle opened, officers noted the strong smell of marijuana, both burned and unburned. Wall was arrested and searched.
During the search, “a small scale containing green vegetable matter, which based on my training and experience, I identified as marijuana and $280 in U.S. currency,” the officer wrote in a Maricopa Police probable cause statement.
During a search of the vehicle, police allegedly found a glass jar with more of what was suspected to be marijuana.
“I was notified by another MPD officer Wall had recently posted on social media a picture of himself holding a black semiauto pistol. The pistol was not found in the vehicle,” the officer wrote in the probable cause statement.
Wall was transported to the Maricopa Police Department and advised of his rights. He allegedly admitted the marijuana was his, according to the officer.
“He additionally admitted he had sold marijuana on [Feb. 22] but would not disclose where. Wall admitted he was not working, just selling marijuana,” the officer.
