Prescott AZ (January 1, 2021) – Starting January 1st and continuing through January 22, Yavapai Silent Witness will be running its 47th CATCH 22 Program. During this 22-day period, we will be highlighting one fugitive each day to garner the public’s assistance in locating these individuals so law enforcement can take them into custody. Each day through January 22nd a new fugitive will be highlighted, and a $500.00 cash reward will be offered for information that leads to the arrest of the fugitive. This program is very successful leading to the arrest of 101 felons and paying almost $50,000 in rewards since its inception. So let’s get started!
It’s Day 1 of Yavapai Silent Witness’ CATCH 22 Program. Today the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office is asking for your help in locating 43-year-old Robert David Pearsall III.

On September 8, 2018, Pearsall was camping in the area of Bear Siding Camp Site near the Verde River when he approached the victim from behind, and unprovoked, Pearsall struck the male victim about the face and head several times with a hardened piece of wood until the victim went to the ground unresponsive and bleeding from the head and face. Pearsall fled the scene.
As a result of the attack, the victim suffered a concussion, a traumatic laceration, partial loss of his right ear, and multiple bruises and abrasions. Pearsall was arrested, was subsequently out on bond at the time of the trial, and fled prior to the verdict and sentencing.
Pearsall is described as a white male, 43 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 165 pounds with blonde balding hair and green eyes. His last known address was in the Prescott area.
Pearsall is believed to change his appearance often and is possibly driving a white 1999 Acura TL 3.0 4 door with a fictitious plate or no plate.
Pearsall is wanted on charges of Attempted 1st Degree Homicide as well as two counts of Aggravated Assault. As a result, he has a warrant with a $100,000 bond.
Thanks to many donations from concerned members in our community, Yavapai Silent Witness is offering up to a $3,000 cash reward for information leading to Pearsall’s arrest. In addition, due to the much-appreciated cooperation of the United States Marshal’s Service’s Violent Offender Task Force, there is now an additional $5,000 available for a tipster who provides information leading to the arrest of Robert David Pearsall III. As a result, there is a total of up to $8,000 available for the tipster who provides information leading to Pearsall’s arrest.
To earn your reward you must call Yavapai Silent Witness at 1-800-932-3232 or submit a tip at www.yavapaisw.com. You can also contact the United States Marshal’s Service by calling or texting 928-864-6126. All calls or tips provided to Yavapai Silent Witness will be completely anonymous.
