    logo_ycsoCornville AZ (April 16, 2014) – On April 13, 2014, around 3:30 AM, YCSO deputies were dispatched to a family fight underway in the 2600 block of Seybert Drive, Cornville. The caller, 36-year-old Jeremy Slaughter, reported that his girlfriend, 34-year-old Josie Owens, was “drunk and out of control.” Slaughter left the home pending arrival of deputies.

    20140416_Owens-Josie-JineaneWhile speaking with Owens at the Seybert Drive home, deputies noticed scrapes and blood on both of her knees. Owens claimed she had been dragged down the street. Deputies found 2 children in the house, ages 13 and 15. Slaughter arrived and explained that he and Owens had been drinking at a local pub earlier and during the walk home after a taxi ride, Owens “flipped out for no reason.” She started swinging her arms at him, grabbed a gun from his waistband, and tried to strike him with it. Owens then ran home and he followed. He denied causing any of her injuries blaming them on falls.

    Slaughter stated that both continued to argue inside the house. Slaughter eventually left and called the Sheriff’s Office. Owens, who was now detained in the back of a Sheriff’s vehicle due to confrontational behavior, was then interviewed. She remained uncooperative, became violent, and started to scream. The deputy who was speaking to her was kicked several times by Owens as she tried to remove herself from the vehicle. Deputies then placed her in special restraints to control her movement. During transportation to the Camp Verde Detention Center, Owens was able to kick out the driver’s side window and damage the frame. She was transferred to another vehicle and eventually arrived at the jail for booking.

    Owens was charged with Disorderly Conduct per Domestic Violence, Criminal Damage, Assault on Law Enforcement Officer, Aggravated Assault, and Resisting Arrest. She has since been released on a $2500 bond. Slaughter was booked on charges including Disorderly Conduct and Criminal Damage. He has been released on a $1500 bond. Firearms were removed from the home for safe keeping and Children’s Protective Services was notified regarding the 2 teen children who remained.

      This is untrue and inaccurate it is maicouse and defamation of our characture. The police beat the crap out of me and caused major injuries i had no contact with a gun and was tazed while on the ground also. Please take this off especially our pictures and names or i will have my attorney contact you for obstructing my case. Now there will be a way better story soon as these police are held accountable for violating MANY CIVILIAN RIGHTS. So i will send you a copy of the notice of claim. If you would voluntarily cooperate with taking this down and correcting this in your next press run. Thank you.

      This as well has caused a lot of damage to our lives. I have my children, and Jeremy nor I has never nor would never have any physical altercation. I was defending myself with the Sheriffs and that is legal.

    War
    War
    By Tommy Acosta
    War…What is it good for? Obviously, it is good for those who profit from destruction and the taking of human life. And what is the common denominator, the impetus for war throughout the centuries? It’s about the acquisition of land, by force, deceit or any other means possible. During the holidays I went to a party where this retired couple were recounting a land dispute they were having with their neighbor. It seems their neighbor was claiming an extra six feet on their property line and the animosity had grown so strong that they were now in court trying to settle whose six feet of land it was. Prior to the dispute they had been friendly but now they had become arch enemies, all for a tiny piece of land. Read more→
