    Yavapai County News – On November 8, 2022, Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office Deputies conducted a speed enforcement detail in both the Prescott Valley and Verde Valley areas due to multiple high-speed complaints.

    During this detail, a Deputy observed one vehicle Cornville Road, traveling 68 MPH near Milepost 7, where the posted speed limit is 50 MPH. During the stop, the Deputy reports that there was an overwhelming odor of Marijuana coming from the vehicle, as well as marijuana and additional drug paraphernalia in plain sight, and the driver immediately stated, “I am going to jail, aren’t I?” In addition to these clues, the Deputy is a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) and noted white crystal powder around the offender’s nose during the initial investigation which was later determined to be methamphetamine.

    After a thorough investigation, the driver was charged with numerous offenses including DUI Drugs, Possession of Dangerous Drugs, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and interfering with Judicial proceedings due to release conditions set by the court from a prior arrest on October 28, 2022. These conditions mandated he does not consume or possess alcohol or drugs.

    The offender was also issued numerous civil citations for No Seatbelt and No Insurance.

    YCSO will continue to conduct speed and DUI enforcement on our roadways to ensure the safe passage of all our community residents and visitors. We would like to remind everyone to Slow Down and Buckle Up, especially during our busy holiday season so we can all make it home safely.

    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.
