The Arizona Department of Public Safety said Friday that Storey is being held on a $5 million cash-only bond after law enforcement announced a long list of felony and domestic-violence charges tied to an incident in Coconino County. Storey is still under hospital care and will be booked into the Coconino County Jail once medical staff clear him for transfer, according to the agency.
AZDPS Lays Out Charges And Massive Bond
According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, Storey is charged with three counts of first-degree burglary and one count of disorderly conduct, domestic violence. The agency said the defendant also faces 10 counts of aggravated assault on law enforcement and two counts of first-degree murder. The department's post states that bond was set at $5,000,000, cash-only, and directed people seeking charging details to contact the Coconino County Attorney’s Office.
Charged Counts And Relevant Statutes
The burglary and domestic-violence disorderly-conduct counts refer to specific state statutes. First-degree burglary is codified at A.R.S. §13-1508, and disorderly conduct, including domestic-violence enhanced charges, appears at A.R.S. §13-2904. Those laws spell out when a burglary can be elevated to first degree and what kinds of conduct qualify as disorderly conduct under Arizona law.
Bond Rules And Booking Details
The department's post says Storey will be booked into the Coconino County Jail once he is released from hospital custody, and the agency did not publish additional narrative about the alleged incident. A $5,000,000 cash-only bond generally requires the full amount to be posted in cash or certified funds to secure release, rather than being paid through a surety or bondsman, according to local jail and court guidance. County detention and clerk resources describe the standard procedures for posting bonds and going through booking.
Recent Local Cases Set The Stage
Coconino County has prosecuted several high-profile violent cases in recent years, underscoring how serious felonies move through the county courts. In one 2024 Flagstaff case, prosecutors secured a first-degree murder conviction that also included aggravated-assault counts against law enforcement. That prosecution and similar cases show how the county handles complex, high-severity criminal trials.
Legal Stakes And What Happens Next
If the murder counts proceed as first-degree murder, they would fall under A.R.S. §13-1105, a class 1 felony that can carry life imprisonment or the death penalty. Burglary and aggravated-assault charges carry their own felony classifications and potential penalties under state law. The Coconino County Attorney's Office will decide how to formally charge the case and what prosecutorial strategy to pursue, and the Arizona Department of Public Safety has directed questions about charging decisions to that office.
For further information, members of the public can contact the Coconino County Attorney’s Office or review county court records once they become available. The Department of Public Safety's post lists the county attorney as the point of contact for details on the charges.
