    Sedona AZ (May 11, 2017) – On May 4, 2017, around 4AM, 37-year-old Brandon Mandeville from Cottonwood committed the following violations: Driving on a Suspended License, Leaving the scene of an accident, Criminal Damage, Resisting Arrest, and Possession of drug paraphernalia. Mandeville was observed by witnesses exiting a crashed van in the 2900 block of S Salt Mine Rd, Camp Verde. The van, a blue 1997 Chevrolet, struck a fence and damaged a main cable distribution box. It was determined Mandeville had a suspended driver’s license. Mandeville left the scene, headed south and was later contacted by a deputy. After being informed he was detained, Mandeville ran and even though ordered to stop, he continued running out of sight.

    20170511_Mandeville-BrandonMandeville had dropped a backpack prior to running which contained a scale with heroin residue. Inside the damaged van, numerous items of drug paraphernalia were found including bindles, syringes, scales, spoons, and assorted smoking devices, all with heroin residue. Also located in the van was jury duty paperwork and a receipt, both containing Mandeville’s name. Mandeville could not be located that morning.

    On May 6, 2017, at approximately 9:30 PM, Mandeville was contacted by Sedona Police Officers in the parking lot of the Sedona McDonald’s restaurant, in the 2300 block of West US Highway 89a, and immediately fled. He ran to a nearby hotel and gained access to the roof before making his way to the balcony of a hotel room. The Sedona officers, who were aware deputies were attempting to find Mandeville, contacted YCSO and deputies arrived in short order. At that time, Mandeville was visible on a second floor balcony and told of his pending arrest. Instead of cooperating, Mandeville began kicking the sliding glass door of the balcony’s occupied hotel room. Not able to get in, he ran back to the roof and then jumped into a tree. Mandeville was eventually coaxed out of the tree and arrested. Additional charges as a result of Mandeville’s actions included Attempted Burglary, Criminal Damage, Disorderly Conduct, and Resisting Arrest.

    The damage to the cracked sliding glass door was estimated at $2000. Hotel activities and guest movement was disrupted throughout this incident as deputies tried to insure the safety of patrons and employees.

    Mandeville was booked at the Camp Verde Detention Center on charges from both incidents. The court released him on a promise to appear the next day.

    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.
