Man Buys Hundreds Of Papers With Story Of His Arrest

<snip>

Jack William Pacheco has more copies of this week's edition of The Chowchilla News than he'll ever need.
The 35-year-old Chowchilla resident went around town Wednesday morning and purchased every copy he could in an attempt to suppress news of his arrest for alleged methamphetamine possession.

"I have a whole garage full of newspapers," he said.

Pacheco, owner of A-Call carpet cleaning service, estimated he spent hundreds of dollars buying up 500 to 600 copies of The Chowchilla News from the newspaper's office, gas stations, convenience stores and coin-operated news racks. As of Wednesday afternoon, the newspaper's circulation department reported that there were no copies of the paper for sale anywhere in the city.

Seven hundred copies of The Chowchilla News are printed each week for single-copy distribution.

Chowchilla News managers said 500 additional copies were printed Wednesday night and will be available this morning at the newspaper's office at 340 W. Robertson Blvd.

The weekly paper costs 50 cents per copy.

Pacheco was arrested by the Madera Narcotic Enforcement Team on Feb. 17 at his home on Emerald Street in Chowchilla.

He has denied the allegations, saying the meth belonged to a relative's friend, Denise Stinson, 48, who was in his house that day to fix his computer. Stinson also was arrested.
