    logo_yavapai_country_sherrifRimrock AZ (December 20, 2012) – On December 19, 2012, Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived at Rimrock High School, 3705 Beaver Creek Road, Rimrock, regarding a disorderly male refusing to leave. Office staff told deputies that the man, later identified 22-year-old Jeremy Whagado, came into the office requesting to remove 2 students, but could not provide their names or any legal connection to students in the school. Whagado was directed to leave and refused. He demanded that office staff provide him with a list of student’s names to assist with the request. As he became more agitated, he mentioned the recent Connecticut school shooting, but did not make any direct threats. The staff was not clear as to the context Whagado placed on the Connecticut incident, but were obviously very concerned about his behavior, instituted a school lockdown and called YCSO. A few minutes later, Whagado left the school grounds in a very disgruntled state.

    20121220_Whagado-JeremyDeputies arrived in the area within minutes and located Whagado near a gas station just south of the school. Whagado was detained and appeared disoriented and confused. Due to the threatening nature of the incident, deputies arrested Whagado for Disorderly Conduct and Disruption of a School – both misdemeanors. No weapons were found in his possession. Whagado did acknowledge prior mental health issues to deputies.

    Whagado was booked at the Camp Verde Detention Center and remains in-custody on a $7500 bond pending a January 2013 court date.

    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.
