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...............

BOAT ACCIDENT – LAKE HAVASU

Mohave County Sheriff’s Waterways deputies responded to a single boat injury boat accident Saturday (8/21) afternoon.  Approximately 3:01 p.m., deputies responded to the Lake Havasu Marina regarding an injury accident.  Investigations determined that the accident occurred in the center of the South Basin, near Copper Canyon.  Ryan Freeman, 23, of Calif., was operating a 24-foot Pontoon boat while he was towing Edward Rubia, 30, of Calif., on a wake board.  Freeman pulled the boat around to Rubia, after Rubia had fallen off the wake board and into the water.  The propeller first ran into the ski rope and then into Rubia.  Rubia’s right hip area was cut with the propeller.  Authorities were called when Freeman drove the boat to Lake Havasu Marina after four people on-board were able to get Rubia out of the water and onto the boat.  River Medical transported Rubia to Havasu Regional Medical Center where he was later airlifted to a medical facility in Las Vegas.  Rubia’s injuries do not appear to be life threatening.  Alcohol is not a factor, but operator inexperience is a contributing factor in this accident.  The operator was not familiar with the rented boat controls. 

           

This accident shows the importance of boater safety education, as alcohol is not always a factor in accidents, but operator inexperience often is with rented and even operator owned watercraft.

Arizona Fugitives John McCluskey and Casslyn Welch Caught

Published August 19, 2010,10:00pm

FoxNews.com

 

Arizona fugitives John McCluskey and Casslyn Welch were apprehended by authorities Thursday in Springerville, Ariz. after three weeks on the run, myFOXphoenix.com reported.

According to the Apache County Sheriff's Office, a member of the public called 911 after spotting a couple matching their description at a campground on the edge of the Apache National Forest, 15 miles from the New Mexico state line.

The couple, who likened themselves to a modern day version of Bonnie and Clyde, were arrested without incident and will face a number of charges.

Welch -- who is also his cousin and fiancée -- is believed to have helped engineer McCluskey's escape from jail. The pair have been linked to the double murder of a married couple in New Mexico.

McCluskey escaped the medium-security Arizona State Prison near Kingman on July 30 with Daniel Renwick and Tracy Province.

Renwick was captured and returned to custody on Aug. 1 after a car chase and shootout with police in Rifle, Colo. Province was apprehended without incident Aug. 9 outside a church in Meeteetse, Wyo., in the state's northwest Park County.

Authorities had been focusing their search efforts for McCluskey and Welch in the northern United States, near the Canada border, but the pair was caught just 300-some miles from where McCluskey had been incarcerated.

Earlier Thursday, the state’s director of prisons said faulty alarms and negligent staff response allowed the three convicted murderers to break out.

Director of the Arizona Department of Corrections Chuck Ryan said an alarm system that had not been properly maintained in two years resulted in a "de-sensitization" of staff, which meant they failed to respond to alarms.

Two alarms were set off as the trio broke free but neither alarm resulted in an officer response.

Ryan called the incident the "worst escape tragedy" since 1978

Reference Prison Break in Golden Valley

 

10:00  am

On June 19, 2010 approximately 7:30 am, 11 Days before the Prison Break, Mohave County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by MTC prison officials in Golden Valley in reference to illegal narcotics.  The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office contacted MAGNET (Mohave Area General Narcotics Enforcement Team) to respond to the prison to conduct the investigation.  

 

Prison officials informed MAGNET investigators that while performing random checks of vehicles in the parking lot, they discovered narcotics in the vehicle being driven by Casslyn Mae Welch, 44, of Mesa.  MAGNET investigators contacted Welch who was determined to be in possession of illegal narcotics, believed to be marijuana and heroin.  The investigation determined that in fact Welch was acting as a “mule” in transporting illegal narcotics for a white supremacy group. 

 

Welch was detained and not immediately taken into custody in order to assist in developing and supplying information which is common practice in many narcotic transportation and smuggling cases.  After information was developed into Welch’s ties to the prison escape, charges were forwarded to the Mohave County Attorney’s Office for review and subsequently charged with six counts of narcotics violations. 

 

The investigation is still open and on-going into the sources of the narcotics in Welch’s possession.

 

2:00 PM ---------------------------------According to MAGNET Taskforce Supervisor Jamie Clark,

Casslyn Welch was not booked into the Mohave County Jail following her involvement with promoting prison contraband, due to the fact she agreed to be an informant to law

enforcement.  Welch divulged information related to the suppliers of the heroin which originated in Phoenix.  It is a common practice to utilize such resources to further the investigation to identify and disrupt organizations selling and/or transporting illegal contraband to further their criminal enterprise.

PRISON ESCAPEES LINKED TO NM KILLINGS. From AOL news

The two men who escaped from the prison in Golden Valley Friday night 7/30 and a woman thought to have helped them have been linked to the investigation of a couple's killing in New Mexico, authorities said Saturday.

New Mexico State Police spokesman Peter Olson said Tracy Province, John McCluskey and Casslyn Welch were linked through forensics but he declined to provide specifics.
  
He declined to say whether police believe the three were responsible for the killings, adding that "we don't know how involved they are."

 

Escaped Arizona prisoners Tracy Province, left, and John McCluskey, right, and a woman, Casslyn Welch, have been linked to the investigation of a couple's killing in New Mexico.


Province, McCluskey and Daniel Renwick escaped from the medium-security Arizona State Prison near Kingman on July 30 after authorities say 44-year-old Casslyn Welch of Mesa threw wire cutters over the perimeter fence. Renwick was arrested in Colorado on Aug. 1.

The badly burned skeletal remains of Linda and Gary Haas, both 61, of Tecumseh, Okla., were found in a charred camper on Wednesday morning on a remote ranch in Santa Rosa in eastern New Mexico.

Olson said a car belonging to the couple was found 100 miles west in Albuquerque on Wednesday afternoon.

The Arizona Department of Corrections says the three men escaped by cutting a hole in the prison's perimeter fence and later kidnapping two semi-truck drivers at gunpoint and using the big rig to flee. The group left the drivers unharmed in the truck at a stop just off Interstate 40 in Flagstaff and then fled.

Province was serving a life sentence for murder and robbery out of Pima County. McCluskey was serving a 15-year prison term for attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault and discharge of a firearm out of Maricopa County. Renwick had been serving a 22-year sentence for second-degree murder.


A nationwide search was under way for McCluskey, Province and Welch, and "America's Most Wanted" planned to air a segment about the group. The group may be using a 1997 platinum gold Nissan Sentra with Arizona license plate 6-2-0-P-F-V.

Thomas Henman, supervisory deputy with the U.S. Marshals Service in Phoenix, said the group should be considered "extremely dangerous," and urged the public to be very careful if they spot them and call authorities immediately.

"These are hardened criminals, and they're armed," he said. "And the longer they are out there, the more desperate they become and the more dangerous they become."

He said the Marshals Service is working feverishly to find the group.

"Eventually they will be caught," he said. "Obviously we want that to be sooner rather than later."

Meanwhile Saturday, the Marshals Service arrested McCluskey's mother in Jakes Corner south of Payson, Ariz., after authorities suspect she gave financial and other types of support to help McCluskey, Province and Welch on their flight from authorities.

Claudia Washburn, 68, was arrested at her home and place of business on charges of conspiracy to commit escape, hindering prosecution and facilitation to commit escape.

MAGNET is comprised of officers of the AZ DPS, Kingman PD, Lake Havasu City PD, Bullhead City PD, Mohave County SO and the Mohave County Attorney’s Office.

 

Actually Erin Taylor said it better, so I am just going to quote her:

KINGMAN - Local law enforcement agencies announced Wednesday the arrest of 75 people in Mohave County during a six-month operation that targeted street-level drug dealers.

Thirty-nine of those people are Kingman residents. They face a combined 88 counts for sale of dangerous drugs, including marijuana, ecstasy and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Thirty of those 39 face charges of selling marijuana, and 13 face charges of selling narcotic drugs, such as morphine, hydrocodone, methadone and oxycontin. The investigation, dubbed "Kingman Sweep" in Kingman, "Operation Summer Heat" in Lake Havasu City and "Operation Spring Cleaning" in Bullhead City, was a countywide effort coordinated by the Mohave Area General Narcotics Enforcement Taskforce.

The Kingman, Bullhead City and Lake Havasu police departments, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration also aided in the investigation and arrests. In addition to the 39 Kingman residents arrested, 10 Bullhead City and 21 Lake Havasu residents face charges in connection with the operation.

Others from Las Vegas and Meadview were also arrested.

Kingman Police Chief Robert DeVries said the arrests are the result of undercover buys, police informants and other investigations. He said that at least one major drug network was broken up as a result of the police effort.

The other suspects are characterized as street-level dealers. Several of the individuals arrested in Kingman were also arrested in Bullhead City, which DeVries said demonstrates that the problem must be tackled countywide.

"These individuals don't know any boundaries," he said.

Officials said the drug-sweep is similar to Magnet's Operation Picture Perfect, which recently wrapped up its prosecution of the last of the 18 defendants in custody two weeks ago. Two men found guilty during their trials fled before sentencing and are still wanted by police.

Operation Picture Perfect involved a single drug network said to have brought in more than 500 pounds of methamphetamine a year in to the community. By contrast, DeVries said this combined tri-city operation netted a smaller quantity of drugs.

"It's not a high volume, but it is a high impact to the neighborhood," he said.

The operations were funded by a "High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area" grant from the DEA, which representative Terry Azbill said is awarded to agencies in which investigations have an impact beyond their respective communities.

Police said more arrests are forthcoming. More than a dozen of the suspects have already been indicted by a grand jury, meaning enough evidence was presented to bring the cases to trial.

SHOOTING INVESTIGATION – MOHAVE VALLEY                 

Mohave County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a shooting incident at a convenience store late Sunday (8/1) evening, at about 11:05 p.m., in the 10000 block of South Harbor Avenue.  Upon arrival, deputies learned that two gun shot victims were in transport to Valley View Medical Center.   The victims are boyfriend and girlfriend.  The male victim is 33 years old of Fort Mohave and the female victim is 21 years old of Mohave Valley.  Both victims were later airlifted to University Medical Center in Las Vegas.  The female victim was treated and released.  Investigations have determined that the victims had gotten gasoline in their vehicle and as they were almost driving out of the parking lot the incident occurred.  Deputies were advised that the victims drove past a white 4-door sedan vehicle with two male occupants inside, parked near the air pumps in the convenience store parking lot.  Possibly an exchange of words amongst the victims and suspects occurred.  The victims got out of their vehicle, after they backed up their vehicle to get closer to the suspects.  Then, the suspects got out of their vehicle and began fighting.  A third male suspect exited the store and joined in on the fight.  At one point, the male victim was able retreat to his vehicle and in doing so, the three male suspects got into their vehicle.  Then, the male victim ran to the driver’s side of the suspect’s vehicle where he was shot multiple times.  After the male victim fell to the ground, the female victim ran to the driver’s side of the vehicle where she was also shot.  The suspects fled the scene.  The male suspects are all dark skin, possibly Hispanic or Indian.  This case remains under investigation. 

 

Anyone with any information regarding this shooting incident is asked to contact Mohave County Sheriff’s Office at (928) 753-0753 or Silent Witness at (888) 227-8780.
