Gamble faces charges of possession of a dangerous drug, sale of a dangerous drug, sale of a narcotic drug, possession of a narcotic drug, escape in the second degree and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Pinal County Adult Probation Officer Malynda Zivkovic arrived at Gamble’s house on a probation check at 12:30 p.m. Oct. 19, a police report said.
