Yuma County

An Arizona woman was stuck in a canal near Yuma for 18 hours after she tried to rescue her dog who fell in. Now just over a month later, she's giving an update on how she and her dog are doing and thanking the man she says saved their lives.

Coconino, La Paz, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal and Yuma counties will be under an Excessive Heat Warning on July 11.

The story of "Baby Holly" has made national headlines and there's a strong Arizona connection to the case. The murder of the child's parents remains unsolved and authorities say a cult could be linked to the crimes.

Authorities say Guillermina Fuentes and Alma Juarez participated in “ballot harvesting.”

A traffic stop in Yuma County led to the seizure of nearly 100 pounds of meth, says the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Mexican prosecutors said they found a fentanyl pill press in San Luis Rio Colorado, across from Yuma, Arizona.

The counties included in the heat warning are Coconino, Graham, Gila, Greenlee, La Paz, Maricopa, Mohave, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz, Yavapai, and Yuma.

Guillermina Fuentes, 66, and a second woman were indicted in December 2020 on one count of ballot abuse, a practice commonly known as “ballot harvesting” that was made illegal under a 2016 state law.

The mayor of a border city in Arizona is weighing in on what he thinks could happen if a controversial U.S. policy known as Title 42 ends. A federal judge has since blocked the Biden administration's plan to end the policy.

Stage 1 fire restrictions for the Apache-Sitgreaves, Coconino, Kaibab, and Tonto National Forests begin at 8 a.m. The restrictions will also be in effect on the Williams and Tusayan districts of the Kaibab National Forest

Andres Fernandez, 29, reportedly scammed the person using a fake start-up company and used the money to buy luxury items, including a car and other travel expenses.

The Biden administration is widely reported to be considering ending Title 42 -- a Trump-era order implemented in March 2020 that allows for the quick expulsion of migrants at the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic -- when it is due for renewal next week.

Investigators used backhoes Sunday and Monday to excavate a series of pits, many holding several bodies, in San Luis Rio Colorado, across the border from Yuma, Arizona.

52-year-old Brad Henderson, who was not vaccinated against COVID-19, had to be placed on an ECMO machine for 55 days. Now, the veteran firefighter is leaving Banner Rehabilitation Hospital.

“The agents rushed towards the struggling migrants, approximately fifty yards apart, and pulled out one by extending a hand and lifting him to shore,” officials said in a news release. “Agents used a rescue disc to pull the other to safety.”

Melissa Hilpert began her career with the Rural Metro Fire as a reserve firefighter and EMT in 2000.

The incident began near Levee Road and County 13 ½ Street when a Yuma County deputy on patrol reportedly saw a group of migrants jumping into and swimming in a canal.

During a one-week period late in December, Arizona State Troopers seized over 664 pounds of methamphetamine and 37 pounds of fentanyl, according to DPS.
