Trio Rip Off Sword Seller In Lake Havasu City
LAKE HAVASU CITY - A woman and two teenagers allegedly conspired to rob a man in Lake Havasu City Tuesday. Police said the trio made a victim of a man who was attempting to sell a collectible sword.
Sergeant Troy Stirling said Ingrid Martinez arranged to meet the sword owner when the masked and hooded teens burst in and attacked the 57 year old sword seller in the 2100 block of S. Palo Verde Boulevard. Stirling said the the victim was pushed to the ground and the suspects fled with money they stole from his pockets.
Dylan Hinojosa, 18, and Jose Soto, 16, later met up with Martinez and traveled to Parker and Quartzite to spend the stolen money, according to police. ``The investigation revealed that the three suspects had conspired to commit this crime," Stirling said.
KINGMAN - Those high security details whisking polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs from the jail to the hospital may be a thing of the past. Once this fall and previously this past summer, Jeffs, 52, had to be rushed to medical facilities after growing frail and weak from refusing to eat regularly while incarcerated in the Mohave County jail in downtown Kingman.
Jail officials said Wednesday that Jeffs is now cooperating and putting on weight since he was confronted with the possibility that he'd be force-fed through a tube if he continued his sporadic intake of food and liquids.
Jeffs awaits trial for sex offenses for alleged arrangements of spiritual unions involving underage Colorado City girls with their adult male relatives.
