Three people recently arrested as part of an undercover drug sting, were later released from the McKinley County Adult Detention Center on their own recognizance, records show.

Sarah Clauschee, George Warren and Micah Six, were taken into custody March 24 and released from the McKinley County Adult Detention Center on March 28. Each was part of an undercover drug operation conducted by the Region 1 Narcotics Task Force.

According to a police report, Clauschee, 38, of Gallup, aided undercover agents in the purchase of several grams of methamphetamine. Warren, 39, and Six, 31, of Houck, Ariz., were the people who supplied the drugs to Clauschee, although Six served more as an accomplice.

According to the police report, agents made contact with Clauschee through a Facebook account and arranged to buy $70 worth of meth. A meeting was made at 914 Taco Bell at E. Historic Highway 66. One agent met with Clauschee and others staked out the area so that others who would be participating in the controlled buy would be at least detained, by the police, the report suggests.

A meeting to purchase the drugs was set up at the All Indian Supply Co., 725 E. Coal Ave. Clauschee walked over to a white pickup truck driven by Six and came back to the undercover agent with a clear plastic bag that contained the dope that was apparently bought from Warren, the police report reads.

The pickup was ultimately stopped by undercover officials and Warren and Six were taken into custody. Warren admitted to selling the drugs to Clauschee and that Six saw him do it.

Clauschee and Warren were charged with the distribution and possession of meth. Six was charged with conspiracy. Each spent about two days in jail before the release.
