Pinal County health officials report its first measles case of the season, in a person in federal custody; the overall community risk is considered low, with vaccines (MMR) emphasized and clinicians urged to monitor for fever and rash.
The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office has made a second arrest in the attack of a teen boy in the desert near Queen Creek, with 18-year-old Garrett Bagshaw taken into custody, following the earlier arrest of 20-year-old Jacob Pennington. The sheriff urged other suspects to turn themselves in, as the investigation continues to identify additional individuals involved in the attack. This arrest is part of a series of recent arrests related to teen violence in the East Valley, including an attack at a Gilbert In-N-Out parking lot and a May incident near Val Vista Drive and Pueblo Avenue. The case of 16-year-old Preston Lord, who was attacked and later died in October, remains unsolved.
