The Bullhead City Police Department apprehended Gilbert Houston Ruff, a 55-year-old Bullhead City resident, for possessing a sales quantity of methamphetamine, along with several other felony and misdemeanor charges, following a routine traffic stop. Last night (9/9), at approximately 6:45 p.m., Ruff was pulled over near Hancock Road and Ramar Road for an inactive brake light. During the stop, Ruff reportedly refused to provide his driver’s license despite repeated requests. A records check revealed his license was suspended. When officers attempted to place him under arrest, Ruff resisted by pushing an officer and acting combative, resulting in minor injuries to one officer. Ruff fled the scene but was apprehended shortly thereafter. Upon searching Ruff and his vehicle, officers located approximately 47 grams of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia items, and cash believed to be associated with drug sales. Ruff was arrested for possession of dangerous drugs for sale, possession of drug paraphernalia, aggravated assault, resisting arrest, driving on a suspended license, and failure to provide a driver’s license. He was booked into the Mohave County Jail in Kingman. The Bullhead City Police Department remains committed to protecting the community from dangerous drugs and holding violent offenders accountable.
