LAKE HAVASU CITY – Another five-year prison term has been ordered for a second Apple Valley, California man who entered a plea agreement for transporting drugs to sell in Lake Havasu City. Jeffery Prochazka, 36, was sentenced by Judge Billy Sipe on Friday, April 10.
Co-defendant Adrian Viera, 40, is already serving a five-year prison term. Both men were convicted of dangerous drugs for sale related charges.
Lake Havasu City police observed Prochazka and Viera behaving suspiciously in the parking lot of the Maverik convenience market on McCulloch Boulevard on Nov. 11, 2025. Officers trailed the Mercedes they occupied and effected a traffic stop on Nolina Lane.
A subsequent search of the vehicle prompted seizure of a little more than an ounce of methamphetamine, a loaded 9 mm pistol, a digital scale and small baggies used to package drugs. Some $1,500 in cash possessed by Prochazka was also confiscated and authorities said the contents of his cell phone included incriminating drug transaction communication.
