    logo_ycsoCottonwood AZ (December 3, 2013) -On November 30, 2013, around 12:30 AM, Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the 1600 block of S. Carpenter Lane, Cottonwood, regarding suspicious persons and vehicles in the area. Upon arrival, deputies learned that several people were inside what should have been a vacant home in the neighborhood. When deputies checked the home in question, they found screens had been pried off several windows with at least one window apparently forced open. A rental sign was seen lying on the ground in the front yard. Beer can litter was also visible.

    In the backyard, deputies saw two males exiting the home. Once the two men noticed the deputies, they ran back inside and the locked the door. Deputies made several attempts to contact someone at the front door and through an open window without success. With assistance of Cottonwood Police Officers, a perimeter was set around the house. As a team of deputies entered the home through a window, several subjects attempted to flee via the back porch but were detained by law enforcement personnel. Additional subjects fled through windows and were caught before escaping into the neighborhood. A total of 15 adults and 10 juveniles were detained ranging in age from 14 to 24. Deputies are in the process of identifying at least 2 additional subjects who were not caught. Inside the home, deputies found alcohol, marijuana, and marijuana pipes in almost every room.  

    All adults were cited for Criminal Trespassing and one adult was additionally cited for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. The 10 juveniles received referral notices to juvenile court for charges including Trespass, Criminal Damage, and Incorrigible. Many of the trespassers learned about the party via social networking. Damage assessment costs are not known at this time.

    The out of state homeowner and property management company were notified. The investigation is ongoing with additional arrests and charges likely. YCSO appreciates those who called out of concern for the safety and welfare of their neighborhood. Deputies would also like to thank Cottonwood Police officers for assisting.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
