    logo_ycsoJerome AZ (May 30, 2016) – On May 27, 2016, at approximately 4:30 PM, YCSO deputies were dispatched to the report of an injury collision in a remote area of Mingus Mountain along Forest Service Road (FSRD) 493. Initial information indicated a male occupant was trapped inside a vehicle, 2007 Toyota ‘FJC’ SUV, located more than 350 feet down a steep embankment off FSRD 493 in thick brush. A Cottonwood P.D. Officer was first to arrive on scene, met the reporting party, and located the vehicle. The Officer was able to relay important information as to the exact whereabouts of the vehicle to fire officials and YCSO deputies.   

    20160530_ycso4When Deputies contacted the victim, a 60-year-old Cornville resident, he was conscious but had sustained apparent serious injuries as a result of the collision. Further investigation at the scene revealed a family (Good Samaritans) was traveling along FSRD 493 when they observed what appeared to be fresh vehicle debris along the roadway.  Upon closer inspection, the family noticed a vehicle down the steep embankment.  The family then drove down the road to check on the vehicle where they contacted the victim who was trapped inside. They learned the victim had been trapped for approximately three days without food and water before being found. Deputies noted he was still wearing his seat belt.

    Fire and EMS arrived on scene and using extrication tools, they were able to cut the roof off the vehicle and free the trapped man. He was subsequently flown to Flagstaff Regional Medical Center via DPS Ranger for treatment of his injuries.

    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→
