BULLHEAD CITY – A Bullhead City drug dealer is going to the Arizona Department of Corrections after entering a plea agreement resolving his case short of trial. A slew of drug charges and a weapons offense are being dismissed in a plea agreement convicting Danny Mata, 29, of one count of possession of narcotic drugs for sale.
Deputy Mohave County Attorney Morgan Carstensen said Mata was pulled over on Dec. 7, 2019, in the 1900 block of Seabreeze Lane. She said officers seized 11 grams of heroin during a search of the vehicle Mata was driving.
“The defendant told law enforcement that he is a middle-man for drug deals,” Carstensen said. Mata faces a prison term of three to five years when sentenced Oct. 9.
