It’s Day 17 of Yavapai Silent Witness’ CATCH 22 Program. Today we are asking for the public’s help in finding fugitive Justin Bustamante. On January 3, 2020, the vehicle Bustamante was riding in was stopped by a YCSO Deputy for a traffic violation on northbound interstate 17 near Stoneman Lake road. After smelling the odor of marijuana coming from the car, the deputy performed a probable cause search of the vehicle. The deputy located a pound and a half of methamphetamine in a backpack inside the vehicle. Bustamante was arrested and convicted of Trafficking Dangerous Drugs and later placed on probation. He has now violated his probation.
