    logo_ycsoPrescott AZ (January 17, 2020) – It’s day 17 of Yavapai Silent Witness’ Catch 22 Program.  Today the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office is looking for James Robert Oberle.  

    On April 9, 2019, a Yavapai County Sheriff’s Deputy performed a traffic stop on Oberle at the intersection of Arcosanti Road and Stagecoach Trail in Cordes Lakes.  During the stop, a Yavapai County Sheriff’s K9 Deputy alerted to the vehicle indicating there was contraband inside the vehicle. Following a probable cause search, a small quantity of marijuana and drug paraphernalia was found.  Oberle was taken into custody. Oberle became very combative and claimed he was having chest pains. The deputy had Oberle transported to the hospital for treatment.
