    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.


    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
