Second suspect in drive by shooting arrested

YCSO has arrested the second suspect in drive by shooting Tuesday evening on River Run Road. 33-year old Monty Pritchard from Cottonwood, was arrested at a home on the 2300 block of Posse Trail Wednesday morning, and booked on charges including Facilitation of First Degree Murder, Hindering Prosecution and Driving on a Suspended License. YCSO Spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says Pritchard drove the vehicle used in the drive-by shooting. D’Evelyn says after running from the suspect vehicle, Pritchard hid in a remote area near the river overnight until deciding to turn himself in Wednesday morning. Pritchard also admitted assisting Martin with his efforts to hide from deputies. D’Evelyn says the dispute involved a conflict between the victim and Martin regarding a relationship with a female. He is on active parole and remains jailed in Camp Verde.
