I AM AMAZED HOW THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE JUST KEEP GOING ON AND ON?

 

I recently found out that we have a "3 strikes" rule, signed into effect April of 2006, I have yet to hear of it being applied to anyone here......wonder why.

 

Crimes that trigger the three-strikes rule include murder, drive-by shooting, kidnapping, sexual assault, child molestation, first-degree burglary of an occupied home, arson of an occupied structure, armed robbery, terrorism and child prostitution.

 

To be subject to the three-strikes rule in Arizona, offenders must be convicted of committing, attempting or conspiring to commit three violent or aggravated felonies on separate occasions. And the law is also applicable to people who have been convicted of similar violent offenses in other states.

"Arizona's three-strikes law was created to go after the worst of the worst," County Attorney Andrew Thomas said Wednesday in a prepared statement. "We hope to use this new statute to lock up these violent career criminals once and for all.".
 

 

 

         

        BELOW ARE THE ARRESTS AND NEWS FROM THE SHERIFF AND POLICE DEPT FROM APRIL 4TH 2007.  THE INCIDENT REPORT FOR THIS PERIOD IS UNKNOWN AT THIS DATE, HOWEVER IF THEY ONLY ARREST 10% OF THE PEOPLE WHO COMMIT THE CRIMES, IMAGINE HOW MANY THEFTS AND OTHER INCIDENCES WE HAVE PER MONTH IN MOHAVE COUNTY...............

IRS SCAM

FROM THE KINGMAN POLICE DEPARTMENT   KINGMAN POLICE DEPT NEWS

We received information concerning a tax season e-mail scam that I thought would be worth sending to everyone since we are in the tax preparation season.  The above was received via e-mail. (see photo 1 below)  The embedded link will take you to a site which looks very much like the official IRS website, but look at the information they are collecting. (see photo 2 below)  Never provide any personal information online unless you know the exact source.  When in doubt, contact IRS for verification.  The IRS doesn’t contact anyone by e-mail.  They still use the U.S. Postal Service.

FRAUD/EMAIL SCAM – MOHAVE COUNTY  

Mohave County Sheriff’s Office is warning the public of an email scam.  The victim, a Kingman resident, reported receiving an email from a close friend needing money.  The email indicated the friend was presently in London on vacation and he got robbed at gun point.  His luggage, credit card and cash were stolen and he doesn’t have enough money to get on a plane to get back home. 

 

The victims’ friend asked to borrow $900 and to send it via Western Union in his name to London, United Kingdom.  The victim supplied a confirmation number as requested via email after the money was sent.  Within the hour, the victims’ friend was asking to borrow $700 more, as he forgot about the exchange rate from American dollars to British pounds.  Again, after the $700 was sent, the victim supplied a second confirmation number and provided their home telephone number as requested by their friend.  The victim became suspicious when she received a call from a male subject, with a strong British accent, asking for $1,500 for excess luggage.  The victim immediately emailed her friend asking him to call her to prove his true identity or to answer a question of “What’s the nickname of a mutual friend?”  The victim never received a response! 

 Right away, the victim called her friend at home and realized she had been victimized, as he was home.  The victims’ friend learned that someone had hacked into his computer. 

 The Sheriff’s Office recommends to call the person asking for assistance to verify the validly.

The Sheriff’s Office understanding is that the “close friend” recently received an email from what he thought to be his internet provider asking for his username and password in which he provided. 

 The Sheriff’s Office strongly recommends verifying who is asking for information or money to protect yourself from fraud.  If you suspect fraud, contact your local law enforcement office.

KINGMAN - A 74-year-old man has been arrested in connection with last week's fatal hit-and-run on Andy Devine Avenue.

William Eugene Shelley was charged Tuesday with leaving the scene of a fatal accident, a felony.

Police say Shelley was the driver of the powder blue truck that was traveling eastbound on Andy Devine Dec. 21, when he made a left turn onto Fairgrounds Boulevard into the path of a motorcyclist, who was headed west on Andy Devine. The motorcyclist, 45-year-old Kenneth Dean Grantham of Golden Valley, hit the rear bed of the truck. He was transported to Kingman Regional Medical Center, where he died 30 minutes after the accident.

Witnesses told police that the driver of the truck hesitated briefly after the collision before continuing down Fairgrounds.

The Kingman Police Department put out a description of the truck and within days received an anonymous tip that directed them to a property in the desert off of N. Stockton Hill Road. Detectives went to the property but were unable to gain access. On Monday, the Department of Public Safety Air Ranger was called in to do a sweep over the area to see if there was a vehicle matching the description given by witnesses.

After DPS alerted to a possible hit, police went to the residence and ultimately found the truck hidden from the ground level behind a trailer. The truck's side panels and wooden slates, two features mentioned in a police alert for the vehicle, had been removed, said Sgt. Bob Fisk with KPD.

Fisk said Shelley initially denied involvement before admitting he was the driver.

Shelley told police he left the scene because he is on a fixed income and couldn't afford insurance.

Shelley was allegedly unaware of media reports on the motorcyclist's death and said he wanted to contact the hospital for the man's condition but did not know how, Fisk said.
