Local deputies were involved in detaining a suspect in relation to a Scottsdale PD investigation on Sept. 18 at the corner of Shea and Fountain Hills boulevards.

Deputies arrived on the scene following reports that a vehicle had rolled to a stop after colliding with another car and continuing down the road.

When deputies arrived, a man was discovered asleep behind the wheel of the vehicle, appearing under the influence of prescription drugs that were found on the scene.

While questioning the man, who said he was on his way to work, Scottsdale PD arrived and reported the driver was suspected of being involved in at least two other hit-and-run instances along Shea Blvd. The case was then turned over.

*A suspect presented forged prescriptions for oxycodone at the Safeway pharmacy on Sept. 13 and left the scene before deputies arrived.

*On Sept. 17, a driver was cited and released for speeding and driving on a suspended license at Shea and Fountain Hills boulevards.

*A resident on Ashbrook Dr. reported that their brakes were cut sometime between Sept. 15 and Sept. 16. The complainant reported she was taking her children to school when she noticed that the brakes were not responding properly. The vehicle was towed for repairs, where it was discovered that the brake line had been cleanly cut.

*On Sept. 19, a resident on 140th Place in Rio Verde reported that their neighbor refused to stop tampering with a water well system.

*A hit and run was reported on Sept. 24, occurring at the intersection of Shea and Palisades boulevards. A motorcycle was struck by a truck while waiting to make a turn. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment while authorities attempted to track down the suspect. Later in the day, deputies received a call from a local woman who said her brother had returned home claiming he had been involved in an accident. The driver said he panicked, since he already had a warrant for his arrest. He was taken into custody and turned over to vehicle crime detectives.

*A fire was reported at Sunridge Canyon Golf Course on Sept. 25. Garbage bags filled with trash and piled in the golf cart storage area caught fire but were extinguished by emergency sprinklers before any damage occurred. According to the report, the fire was most likely started by something smoldering in one of the garbage bags.

*A disturbance was reported at the Circle K on Saguaro Blvd. on Sept. 22. A man, who appeared to be intoxicated, was reportedly yelling at customers. The suspect was tailed by a posseman, who reported witnessing erratic driving while deputies caught up. The man was cited and released.
