    logo_ycsoCamp Verde AZ (March 11, 2015) – On March 9, 2015, at approximately 3:30 AM, YCSO deputies were dispatched to suspicious activity on I-17 south of Camp Verde, Arizona. The reporting person told deputies he picked up a stranded motorist who had passed him on I17 and then pulled over as if in some type of trouble. The reporting person stopped to assist and agreed to take the man, identified as 28-year-old Darrin Miles, to the nearby Comfort Inn hotel as requested by Miles. During the ride, Miles was speaking incoherently while mentioning his dark colored pick-up had run out of gas. The reporting person expressed to deputies concern about the unusual behavior of Miles during their time together.

    20150311_YCSO_Miles-Darrin-LeeDeputies located Miles at the Comfort Inn and when questioned about a vehicle he was driving running out of gas, Miles denied any knowledge of such vehicle. Assisting deputies in the area were able to locate an unoccupied black 2012 Chevrolet Silverado on I17 near Highway 169. The Silverado appeared to belong to a Phoenix car dealership and follow-up with the Phoenix Police Department, confirmed the Silverado had been stolen by a man matching the description of Miles. Keys to several unrelated vehicles were also found in the Silverado.

    During his arrest, Miles resisted handcuffing and attempted to assault a deputy but was eventually restrained.

    Miles was booked at the Camp Verde Detention Center on charges including Unlawful Means of Transportation, Aggravated Assault against a Law Enforcement Officer, Resisting Arrest and Driving on a Suspended License. He remains in-custody on a $10,000 bond.

    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.
