    logo_ycsoPrescott AZ (April 13, 2016) – On April 12, 2016, just after 9AM, a YCSO deputy saw a man, later identified as 28-year-old Theodore Acosta Jr. from Prescott Valley, standing near a blue passenger sedan on Marina Street at the west side of YCSO headquarters, 255 E. Gurley Street, Prescott. Acosta seemed unusually nervous as the marked Sheriff’s patrol car drove by. The deputy circled around and as he came by again, Acosta was now in the driver’s seat leaning over the steering wheel. The deputy circled one more time and pulled in behind the car to check on the driver. At that time, the vehicle was running and it appeared Acosta was trying to shift the car into reverse.

    20160413_ycso_Acosta-JrWhen the deputy contacted him, Acosta confirmed the car would not go into reverse. He told the deputy the car belonged to a friend named “Thomas,” who told him to pick it up. When Acosta was asked if he could contact “Thomas,” he said no and was unable to tell the deputy where “Thomas” lived. The deputy had already run the license plate and it was not registered to anyone with the name “Thomas.”

    An assisting deputy arrived to aid in locating the vehicle owner, a Prescott Valley resident, which was unsuccessful. The deputy noticed there were tools on the backseat of the vehicle and recalled seeing construction workers at the nearby Elks Theatre. The assisting deputy went to the Elks and eventually located the owner of the involved vehicle and brought him to the parking area. The owner had never met Acosta and confirmed no one had permission to take his vehicle. The owner indicated that his ignition key had been stuck in the ignition switch and could not be removed.

    Acosta was arrested and booked at Prescott’s temporary detention center on charges of Theft of Means of Transportation and Possession of Paraphernalia regarding a syringe found in his waistband. He remains in-custody on a $7500 bond.

      You have to wonder what this gang banger is doing in Sedona? Just passing through or did he have connections here? Hopefully just passing through. The last thing you want here is a gang presence.

      From the looks of the picture I think this man is another example of the disenfranchised society where he was never given a fair chance in societal hierarchy.


    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
