    Rimrock AZ (August 11, 2017) – On August 4, 2017, around 11:45 PM, YCSO deputies were dispatched to the 4100 block of Aztec Road, Rimrock, regarding a subject firing rounds in his backyard. Upon arrival, deputies saw smoke coming from inside the house as popping noises were heard and requested the fire department. Deputies called out to anyone who might be in the home, but there was no response. As fire personnel arrived from the Copper Canyon Fire and Medical Authority, flames could now be seen. A neighbor told deputies that the resident, who rarely leaves the home, was likely still inside.

Fire personnel eventually located the man and escorted him out of the house to awaiting deputies. He was identified as 50-year-old Jan Miller who admitted firing rounds in the air and starting the fire to get the ‘voices to stop.’ Regarding the fire, Miller stated he poured ‘Everclear’ brand alcohol on a container of live ammunition and then set it on fire.  

    Fire officials reported that the popping noises heard earlier resulted from ammunition exploding due to the heat of the fire. They also discovered a possible explosive device which a bomb technician later determined was actually a drum magazine for an AK-47 rifle. Due to concern for the safety of fire personnel and surrounding homes at the time an explosive device was believed involved, a large perimeter extending at least 2 houses in all directions was set. This safety zone remained in place pending the arrival of the DPS bomb technician.

    The Apprentice
    By Tommy Acosta
    Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy. Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
