    Over the past several months, P.A.N.T. Detectives began receiving information regarding 52 year-old Bryan Ritter of Cornville and his reported involvement in the use and possession of illegal drugs among other crimes. Detectives developed probable cause and obtained a search warrant for Ritter’s residence and various drug-related crimes. At approximately 5:00 PM, P.A.N.T. Detectives and personnel from the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office and Cottonwood Police Department served a search warrant on Ritter’s residence.

    During the search, Detectives contacted Ritter, along with 27 year-old Misty Esler and 55 year-old Johanna Johnson, all from Cornville, inside the residence. Detectives found numerous hypodermic syringes, several grams of heroin, nearly half an ounce of methamphetamine (approximately 10+ grams), scales, empty plastic baggies, tin foil with burnt residue, glass bongs and other related drug paraphernalia in the residence.

    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.
