HIDING CONTRABAND

Gallup, July 15

When Gallup Police Officer Norman Bowman Jr. arrived at Octavia Felling Public Library, 115 W. Hill Ave, shortly after 3 pm, the man identified as Ty Treetop, was uncooperative.

Treetop, 30, who was reportedly carrying a pipe, refused to answer the officer’s questions.

Meanwhile, it was discovered that Treetop had a warrant for his arrest, and he was immediately detained and transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center.

About an hour after Bowman dropped him off, jailers informed the officer that they found contraband on Treetop. The man had two bags of a crystal-like substance on him: one in his mouth and one in his butt. Treetop was charged with bringing contraband into jail.

Treetop’s first court appearance will be on Aug. 12.
