    logo_ycsoCornville AZ (April 14, 2014) – Just after 1:30 PM yesterday, April 13, 2014, deputies were called to the 11900 block of E Mingus View Drive in Cornville regarding a domestic violence incident. Deputies were told that the live-in girlfriend of 35-year-old Joshua Myers and her daughter had been held hostage at gunpoint for 2 hours following an argument. Myers eventually released them, threatened suicide and indicated he would “have a shootout” with law enforcement if called to the home. Once released with her daughter, Myers’ girlfriend contacted YCSO to report the incident.

    Deputies arrived and confirmed Myers was still inside the home. Myers remained uncooperative throughout the afternoon and refused to surrender. Deputies established Myers was heavily armed and had access to a police scanner and gas masks. The YCSO SWAT team was notified and began staging in the vicinity.

    Around 9:20 PM, Myers was observed in the home’s rear yard armed with a handgun even with the knowledge deputies had surrounded the residence. At this time, Myers committed suicide by way of a self-inflicted gunshot to his head. No shots were fired by any YCSO deputies.

    During the service of a search warrant inside the home, deputies found an AR-15 type rifle with several hundred rounds of ammunition nearby and ready to use along with a loaded pistol.

    Citizens can contact the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office with information or questions at 928-771-3260 or the YCSO website: www.ycsoaz.gov

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
