12:15am – Three Sheriff SUV’s and Fire-truck at house in Havens on Aztec. The Sheriff SUV’s were out and about. Friday 6-25-10
12:30am – Couple walking along Tag-a-long – stopped to make sure they were ok – they said they had just run a group of kids/boys off their property – asked if they had called Sheriff – no they hadn’t – advised them to do so – as they knew where the boys lived and I knew there had been previous complaints about the same group and told them so – they said they would the next time.
Sunday 6-13-10
11:30pm (Sat) - Traffic stop at Beaver Hollow - two Sheriff Vehicles - went smoothly! Sunday 5-23-10
12:10am: Two teenage boys/men walking towards Rimrock just past Bice Rd.(loud and boisterous) - Thought one of them looked a lot like our sexual predator with the wanted flyers out - called 911 - they dispatched an officer - don't know of results?!?
Friday 5-21-10
10:30pm: - Just a little more than what I bargained on being a basic traffic stop at the Beaver Hollow. 2 Sheriff cars doing a traffic stop on a full size Blazer/Bronco pulled in behind us - There were 3 or us there. 1 suspect ran on foot the minute the vehicle stopped with a cop on his tail - the other cop was left with the driver (and another passenger) who would not cooperated so the gun came out until backup arrived - a lot of yelling - for the driver to obey his orders and he (the driver) wouldn't. - Backup arrived (more Sheriffs, DPS and Yavapai Rez cops) - 12 of them all together. The one on foot was caught - all three were apprehended - Kudos to all!

Friday 2-26-10
12:40am: I'm on Valley just passed the Golf Course - turned right on the 2nd Yuma (it loops back to Valley) and a young man/boy runs from a house/apt on my right across the street in front of me, thru a vacant lot out towards the golf course - I stopped to see what he's doing and within 30 secs a little dark sports car comes up behind me with his brights on, so I continue on;, when I get to Valley instead of turning left I went right to do the loop again - to see if I might be able to see what the kid that was running was up to - the little dark car turned right, and went out Valley to Montezuma and took another left - I didn't see anything around the loop, and turned left on Valley - noticing that the little dark car had taken a left on Cliffside and now was going be face to face with me - I called the Sheriff at this time - I stopped and let him turn back onto Valley off Cliffside and it slowly went by, pulled into the apts behind me and started to back out - I decided then to (while talking to dispatcher) leave the area - they did not follow any further - told her I was ok - and that they were no longer a threat to me but wondered what they were up to - She had a deputy call me back within 5 minutes - told him I was fine but I couldn't get a real description of either the kid or the car except for it was dark with dark windows (I could not see inside). A deputy car did pass me at Barefoots about 15 minutes later.
I do not know if the kid and car were together, it might have been two separate strange things that happened at the same time.

Uneventful - But.... I have an editorial of sorts:
Windy days, evenings:
LUV: Every motion sensor light that can be set off is on!
HATE: Blown over garbage cans, and blown over portable basketball hoops - They are portable, Please put them up so they don't blow across the road on windy nights - They are both a major road hazard for all at night!

Silver or light colored 4x4 or lifted truck, didn't get a tag but it was cruising pretty fast, and to flash me off the road???

Here are some things I have seen in our area and these are spot observations
On work nights male drivers with open containers and this also happens afternoon hours at post office. Have seen approx 25% of cars no seat belts and 20% with kids (small toddlers) not belted in 35% of cars exceeding the speed limit on Beaver Creek road, 45% speed on Sweetwater and Valley Vista; 20% run stop sign at Lookout and Valley Vista in daylight hours 65% of cars run or California rolling stop at stop sign on Sweetwater and Montezuma. Quads and dirt bikes 80% are not street legal according to DPS guide lines and most drive reckless ( racing mufflers on many).
Between 12 midnight and 4:00 am 2 to 4 times a week cars meet on Thunderhead Trail overlook , some for 10 to 20 mins others for extended times (find a lot of broken beer bottles etc. )
Underage smokers in lot by school and lot between Montezuma and Sweetwater at lunch time. Have seen groups of people , 3 to 8 , dressed in black or dark clothes wondering area trying to avoid cars. We also now have what I believe to be forest dwellers, I have seen 3 but have not located any camps as of yet.
