Tombstone Marshals Office

On July 7, 2019 Tombstone Deputies were dispatched to 11 S. 5th Street in reference to a trespassing call, where a male subject had been walk-ing back and forth out in front of the address, hitting the window, and yelling at an employee that had been in a relationship with the male. The male then opened the

front door, threw a shirt into the business, and later entered the business to retrieve it. The employee had told the male subject to leave the premises. Upon reviewing the surveil-lance footage for the business, customers were obviously dis-turbed by the incident.

The male subject was iden-tified as 32-year-old John Lichter, who has numerous domestic violence incidents

with the employee, and had been trespassing on her prop-erty as well as the business she is employed. Mr. Lichter was arrested and booked into the Bisbee Jail for the fol-lowing charges: Aggravated Domestic Violence a class 5 felony, Harassment, Ha-rassment - following about a public place, Trespassing on a Commercial Establishment, Trespassing on a Residential

Fenced Property, and Disor-derly Conduct - Disruption a Business.

Arizona State law allows an individual to be charged with a felony if that person within a period of eighty-four months commits a third or subsequent violation of a domestic violence offense. In this instance, there were 12 documented occurrences of a domestic violence offense.

Many folks have once again asked the question, why are Tombstone Deputies patrol-ling Charleston Road?

The answer is this: The Tombstone Marshals Office periodically receives grants from the Arizona Gov-ernor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) to curtail the impaired driver, under-age drinking, and the ag-gressive driver.

Since there has been so many accidents and fatalities over the years on Charles-ton Road, the Tombstone

Marshals Office has been patrolling the area to slow drivers down and to en-force the aggressive driving problem which has plagued Charleston Road for years. “Charleston Road is known to be one of the most dan-gerous and deadly roads in Cochise County. There have been countless fatali-ties and numerous collisions causing major damage and injuries on Charleston Road between the San Pedro Bridge and Tombstone, and most of them are the direct result of aggressive driving, involving speed and passing violations,”

U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a truck driver for human smuggling after they found 33 illegal aliens hidden in his trailer at the Interstate 19 Immigration Checkpoint Tuesday night.

Nogales agents working the primary inspection lanes referred the driver of a 2002 Freightliner tractor and re-frigerated trailer to the sec-ondary inspection area for further immigration related questioning.

A search of the trailer fi lled with produce from Mexico, led agents to discover 33 for-eign nationals from Mexico and El Salvador hiding in-side. Th e group concealed inside the trailer included 12 juveniles in age from three to 17, a pregnant female, and a convicted felon.

Th e interior of the trailer was nearly 100 degrees, caus-ing imminent danger to the people locked inside with no means of egress. Although

the trailer was equipped with a refrigeration unit, the driver did not have it turned on.

Th e 37 year-old Mexi-can driver was arrested and charged with felony human smuggling violations in a federal complaint. The 33 people being smuggled were taken into U.S. Border Pa-trol custody and will be pro-cessed for immigration vio-lations.

In an eff ort to prevent fatalities at the hands of smugglers, Department of Homeland Security has re-cently launched “Operation Safeguard” to educate the

public and the trucking in-dustry on the life-threaten-ing dangers involved in using commercial conveyances to smuggle humans.

U.S. Customs and Bor-der Protection is the unifi ed border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation’s borders at and between of-fi cial ports of entry. CBP is charged with securing the borders of the United States while enforcing hundreds of laws and facilitating lawful trade and travel.

Human Smuggler Arrested: 33 People Locked Inside Truck Trailer

Jack Smith, the Trump Ad-ministration’s pick to serve as State Director of USDA Ru-ral Development in Arizona, reported in for his new posi-tion today.

Smith brings seven years of experience serving as County Supervisor for District fi ve in Yavapai County. Smith was elected to serve as the Legis-lative Policy Liaison and 2nd Vice President of the County Supervisors Association of Arizona and was a member of the NACo Rural and Ag-riculture Aff airs Committee.

During his tenure he worked on increasing trans-parency and building region-al cooperation. Before joining the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors, Smith managed transportation, warehousing and logistics with the Pepsi Bottling Group and the Ace Hardware Corporation.

Smith served eight years in the United States Army and was awarded the Army Com-mendation Medal, two Army Achievement Medals, and the Good Conduct Medal.

Jack and his wife have two children. He holds a bach-elor’s degree in Christian Studies from Grand Can-yon University.

Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced a State Grand Jury indicted six men who are alleged to have been a part of an illegal credit card gas skimmer ring for fraudu-lent schemes and artifi ces, conspiracy, illegally conduct-ing an enterprise, computer tampering, organized retail theft, and taking the identity of another person. Th eir al-leged participation involved a scheme to purchase diesel fuel for resale with stolen credit card information between April 11, 2018, and Decem-ber 20, 2018. Th e names of the men indicted are: Juan Cespedes-Martinez, Bladi-mir Th omas Rodriguez, Je-sus Chavez Cespedes, Rene Chavez Valdivia, Dadiel Lo-pez Garcia and Leosvani Ro-driguez-Rojas.

Th e investigation was per-formed by the Arizona De-partment of Transportation Offi ce of Inspector General (ADOT) in partnership with

the Kroger Company Or-ganized Retail Crime Team and the Attorney General’s Offi ce. In February of 2018, ADOT Detectives discov-ered tractor trailers at a pri-vate storage lot being fu-eled from hidden auxiliary fuel tanks contained on the trucks. Th e investigation identifi ed several individuals and seven load vehicles with auxiliary fuel tanks allegedly involved in the scheme.

Th e individuals are accused of obtaining stolen credit card information which was encoded onto a new card, and then used the card at the pump to purchase fuel. Th e indictment alleges that on 31 separate occasions, the en-terprise used the credit card information of approximately 40 diff erent individuals at 12 diff erent gas stations in the Phoenix area including Cir-cle K, Fry’s Fuel, Shell, and QuickTrip.

So far in 2019, 40 skimmers

have been found in Arizona fuel dispensers and reported to the Arizona Department of Agriculture Weights and Measures. All Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

AG Brnovich provides the following tips for consumers to avoid becoming a victim of credit card skimmer fraud:

Always use credit cards to pay for gas at the pump. If you have to use an ATM card, run it as credit.

Wiggle the card scanner before you insert your card. If it is loose, move on (this tip also applies to ATMs).

Some gas stations place security tags/tabs on the pump showing that it is se-cure. If the tag/tab is broken, move on. Also, look for any pry marks on the gas pump door or if the door is slightly open.

Look at the surrounding credit card readers at other

pumps to see if they look the same. Suspects will often use counterfeit stickers to cover the ones they break while in-stalling a skimming device, so check the stickers on one or more adjacent pumps.

Use pumps in well-lit ar-eas that are positioned in a clear view of store employ-ees. The scammers install-ing the devices usually will install a skimmer into the pumps farthest away from the attendant.

Watch out for large ve-hicles such as SUVs, trucks, and vans that park in front of fuel pumps for long peri-ods of time. Criminals have been known to use large vehicles to block the view of the dispenser from site employees while they install a skimming device.

If concerned, pay inside or go to a diff erent gas sta-tion.

Report your concerns to station employees, law en-forcement, and/or fi le a com-plaint online.

Monitor this map on the Attorney General’s Web-site or Arizona Department of Weights and Measures website to identify where credit card skimmers have recently been found.

Routinely monitor your credit card and bank state-ments to look for any unauthorized or fraudulent charges.

Continued from last week

A native of New York, and about twenty-six years old, Phillips had been in Tomb-stone for one year. He had acted as deputy clerk during the term of District Court and had won compliments from Bench and Bar for his excellent conduct and strict attention to the business at hand.

About four months earlier he had been temporarily em-ployed by Sheriff Behan. The sheriff was so impressed with him that he retained him as a full time deputy.

Phillip’s obituary said that he was a young man of most exemplary habits and good principles. That he was ut-terly devoid of fear in the discharge of his duty, though most quiet and unassuming in his manner. In short he was a true friend, an upright citizen, and an honest and ca-pable officer.

The sad news was tele-

graphed to Ike Phillips, a brother of the deceased, of San Francisco.

He replied: “Will leave to-morrow. Have the body em-balmed.”

The deceased had three brothers living in California, and a brother and sister in New York. The local paper on July 10, 1882, carried the fol-lowing news item:

“THE MURDERED OFFICER”

About noontime yesterday the remains of the late Kiv Phillips were taken from the undertaker’s rooms on Al-len Street and started on the journey to San Francisco. The body was not well embalmed and the stench was begin-ning to get so great that it was feared the express com-pany would not ship it. A de-tachment of about sixty men from the Hook and Ladder Company and forty from the Engine Company, under the command of Chief Engineer McCann, marched to the undertaker’s rooms at half past eleven, and formed in double line, between which

the wagon containing the remains, passed: A proces-sion was then formed in the following manner; Carriage carrying the remains, brass band playing funeral dirge. Hook and Ladder Company under the immediate com-mand of Fireman Hatch, Engine Company No. 1, under command of acting Foreman Moriarity, car-riages, and citizens on foot. The firemen and pedestrians accompanied the remains to the outskirts of the city, and several of the carriages went as far as Contention. The bell on Hook’s truck house tolled sadly as the procession marched through the city, and a general feel-ing of sadness seemed to pervade the community. The order and decorum displayed by the firemen noticed and generally commended. It is supposed that the murdered man’s brothers will meet the remains somewhere on the railroad and act as escort to San Francisco.”

Orante lived four days, then, he too, cashed in his chips. The murderer was un-ceremoniously planted in Boothill.

The Bisbee Deportation was the illegal kidnapping and deportation of about 1,300 striking mine workers, their supporters, and citizen bystanders by 2,000 mem-bers of a deputized posse, who arrested these people beginning on July 12, 1917. The action was orchestrat-ed by Phelps Dodge, the major mining company in the area, which provided lists of workers and oth-ers who were to be arrested in Bisbee, Arizona, to the Cochise County sheriff, Harry C. Wheeler. These workers were arrested and held at a local baseball park before being loaded onto cattle cars and deported 200 miles to Tres Hermanas in New Mexico. The 16-hour journey was through des-ert without food and with little water. Once unloaded, the deportees, most without money or transportation, were warned against re-turning to Bisbee.

As Phelps Dodge, in collusion with the sheriff, had closed down access to outside communications, it was some time before the story was reported. The company presented their action as reducing threats to United States interests in World War I in Europe. The Gover-nor of New Mexico, in consultation with Presi-dent Woodrow Wilson, provided temporary hous-ing for the deportees. A presidential mediation commission investigated the actions in November 1917, and in its final report, described the deportation as “wholly illegal and without authority in law, either State or Federal.” Nevertheless, no individual, company, or agency was ever convicted in connection with the depor-tations.

Facebook’s recent suppres-sion of free speech actually started a generation ago, back in 1996, the last year that Buick made their huge jel-lybean Roadmaster station wagon. Best in black, though it may not be allowable to say that these days. But that year, Kimberlé Crenshaw published “Critical Race Th eory.” Her new pseudo-philosophy of Intersectionality tried to show how diff erent aspects of so-cial and political discrimina-tion overlapped with gender. Now, out there in University Land, this was like throwing red meat to pit bulls. All the diff erent victims-studies de-partments were now able to connect their various griev-ances to everybody else in the whole big world outside Aca-demia. Which of course they did, and are still doing today.

Intersectionality allows you to immediately call any-one who disagrees with you a racist. Th is was much more satisfying than the earlier post-modernist nonsense of writers like Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault. And to-day, 25 years later, the secular church of “Racial Equity” has branches at every college and university, and in many gov-ernment agencies, and in large corporations like Facebook and Google. Racial Equity, it turns out, is quite diff erent than the earlier racial equal-ity that almost all Americans subscribe to. By using almost the same words, we fail to no-tice that racial equity is actu-ally thinly-disguised fascism. On campuses from Berkeley to Yale, speeches and com-ments disagreeing with racial equity are banned. Th e very institutions that were sup-posed to protect us against a real-life Fahrenheit 451 are themselves burning the books. And after 25 years, progressive ex-students mov-

ing up in mega-corporations like Facebook and Google are banning tweets and posts that they fi nd off ensive.

Th ere is pushback, and not just from conservatives. Th e academic destruction of our universities, and the cheap-ening of our degrees, has led to a fracture among liberals – with many moving cen-ter-left, away from the pro-gressives who have hijacked higher education. Best way to hit back at fanatics? Humor, like Th e Grievance Studies. Th ree writers wrote 20 totally fake academic papers, seven of which were published in highly respected journals. Papers like “My Struggle to Dismantle My Whiteness: a Critical-Race Examination of Whiteness from Within Whiteness.” It would be funny if it weren’t so seri-ous. Recently, Racial Equity students took over Evergreen State University in Olympia, Washington, demanding that white students leave the campus and recant the unfair privilege of their whiteness. Which they did, very much like public confessions dur-ing Chairman Mao’s cultural revolution.

My take is that the progres-sives have gone too far. Don-ald Trump stood up to them, and was elected. Th eir fake controversies – like whether transgender athletes should be allowed in the 2020 Olympic Games – no longer excite at-tention. Th eir attacks on our shared American values are ignored. And their attempts to rewrite American history – to portray our exceptional accomplishments as racist and colonialist – are laugh-able. Bottom line? If you have a kid going off to college, pick the place carefully. And ask our politicians to pull fund-ing from universities preach-ing Racial Equity!

According to a recent report released by the National As-sessment Governing Board, Arizona schools have made incredible progress on the National Assessment of Edu-cational Progress (NAEP) over the last 12 years.

NAEP, administered by the federal government, tests a large group of students in every single state across the country, allowing for clear comparisons between states.

Th e National Assessment Governing Board’s recent report outlines Arizona’s “steady progress” from 2005 to 2017, especially in math-ematics and reading, which far outpaced gains made by other states and the national average.

Highlights of the report include:

Arizona fourth-grade stu-dents increased their score by 8 points in reading and 5 points in mathematics from 2005-2017, double the na-tional average of 4 and 2 points respectively.

Arizona eighth-grade stu-dents increased their score by

8 points in both reading and mathematics from 2005-2017, above the national average of 5 and 4 points respectively.

Arizona was among the top 10 jurisdictions with the largest score gains for eighth-grade and fourth-grade stu-dents in mathematics and reading between 2009 and 2017.

As listed in the report, fac-tors contributing to Arizona’s progress include “more rigor-ous standards,” “state assess-ments aligned to those stan-dards,” and “state-supported initiatives and legislation, such as a focus on struggling readers.”

In addition, while public district and charter schools both made considerable gains ahead of the national average, public charter schools have led the way, posting improve-ments at some of the highest levels in the country for all schools.

Following “Avengers: Endgame,” the MCU needs someone new at its head. Iron Man and Captain America will not be returning, Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy are off in space somewhere, Ant-Man and Captain Marvel just had movies in the past year, and Black Panther… has a country to run. I can’t re-ally think of a better reason not to make him the face of the franchise going for-ward. But Peter Parker aka Spider-Man (Tom Holland) is still around, the character has a great track record at the box office, and no doubt some of his mentor Tony Stark’s leadership qualities rubbed off on him. Pin-ning the MCU on him go-ing forward makes a lot of sense on paper, but judging by “Spider-Man: Far from Home,” it might not be such a hot idea in practice.

The film opens smartly by

explaining what happened to the people who were lost for five years between Tha-nos’s finger snap in “Infin-ity War” and the undoing of the snap in “Endgame,” which apparently include all the main characters in this film. It’s been an ad-justment: grades have to be repeated and apartments have been sold, but things are slowly getting back on track. Peter’s class is going on a field trip to Europe, and he wants to confess his love to MJ (Zendaya), he just needs Spider-Man to not be needed for a while. But wouldn’t you know it, Earth is under attack from element-based monsters (Fire, Water, etc.) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) needs Spider-Man to step in and save the day. Can Peter heed his hero’s calling and still get the most out of his vacation?

At least he’s not alone in battling the Elementals. Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a superhero from a paral-lel universe where the El-ementals have destroyed the planet. He claims to need Peter’s help in ridding this version of Earth from the monsters, but he seems per-fectly capable of handling

them by himself. Maybe he’s the new top-dog su-perhero the MCU needs. Followers of Spider-Man lore know that Mysterio is a pretty high-profile mem-ber of his rogues gallery, but then again Batman got through a whole movie in 1989 without Harvey Dent turning into Two-Face, so maybe Mysterio won’t be a bad guy here.

The eventual central vil-lain is problematic. For starters, the character re-veals their true colors in a big speech to a roomful of henchmen, giving the scene a strong tinge of “As you know…” redundancy. Also, the scene comes at a time when the film is conspicu-ously lacking a charismatic villain, because the film practically goes out of its way to make it clear that the Elementals aren’t cut-ting it. Perhaps worst of all is that the character is yet another MCU villain whose motivation is that they’re mad at Tony Stark for not giving them their due. How many of these chapters could have been avoided by Tony just writing a check?

With all its “American teenagers in Europe” an-tics, “Spider-Man: Far from

Home” wants to be one of those “fun” MCU mov-ies, like “Ant-Man” or the “Guardians of the Galaxy” or “Thor: Ragnarok.” That’s fine if the movie can pull it off, but for me, this movie doesn’t. It’s by no means terrible, but I’ve seen other, better movies about teenagers with superpowers (including last year’s far superior “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”) and there’s a whiff of staleness that this movie never man-ages to shake. The film is get-ting excellent reviews, so feel free to see it for yourself and say I’m wrong, but after the grand finale of sorts that was “Avengers: Endgame,” this movie doesn’t make me con-fident that the future of the MCU is in the best hands.

NOTE: Stay tuned all the way through the credits on this one. A mid-credit se-quence features one of the most laudable casting deci-sions of the whole MCU and a bonus at the very end recontextualizes a number of events throughout the film.

“Spider-Man: Far from Home” is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, some language and brief suggestive comments. Its running time is 129 minutes. Contact Bob Garver at [email protected].

Weekly Movie Review:“Spider-Man: Far

From Home” GRADE: C

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Arizo-na’s Port of Nogales arrest-ed a United States citizen Monday for attempting to smuggle methamphetamine and heroin through the Port of Nogales.

CBP officers at the DeC-oncini Crossing referred a 35-year-old Peoria, Ariz. resident for further inspec-tion of her Honda sedan fol-lowing an alert by a CBP narcotics detection canine to an odor it is trained to detect.

Officers found more than

90 packages, later identi-fied as nearly 123 pounds of methamphetamine and al-most two pounds of heroin. The drugs have an estimated total of $412,000.

Officers seized the drugs and vehicle. The woman was arrested and turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investi-gations.

Federal law allows of-ficers to charge individuals by complaint, a method that allows filing of charges for criminal activity without in-

ferring guilt. An individual is presumed innocent unless and until competent evi-dence is presented to a jury that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

CBP’s Office of Field Operations is the primary organization within Home-land Security tasked with an anti-terrorism mission at our nation’s ports. CBP of-ficers screen all people, ve-hicles and goods entering the United States while fa-cilitating the f low of legiti-mate trade and travel. Their mission also includes carry-

On Thursday August 1, 2019 Rebecca Orozco will be presenting on “Culture, Language and Horses” at Schieffelin Hall at 7 pm.

In June 2018 Rebecca Oro-zco went to Kazakhstan on a Fulbright-Hays Group Study Project. Her proposed re-search topic was to compare the original domestication of the horse which occurred on the steppes of Central Asia

with the re-domestication by Native American groups after the conquest. Hear about her journey and the unexpected turns her project took.

Rebecca Orozco is a third-generation resident of Cochise County and cur-rently teaches history and anthropology at Cochise College and the University of Arizona. Her undergradu-ate degree in anthropology

(1974) and graduate degree in history (1987) are from the University of Arizona. She has traveled widely and lived in Peru, Ecuador and Gua-temala where she worked as an archaeologist.

The Corral meets at 7 p.m. the first Thursday of each month at Schieffelin Hall, Fremont St. at 4th, Tombstone. Come and see this wonderful, historic the-ater built in 1882. There is an optional 5-ish pre-meet-ing dinner at the Long-horn Restaurant, Allen St., Tombstone. Call or email

ahead so we can tell the res-taurant how many to expect. This is Cochise County’s corral and all are welcome. For more information con-tact Sheriff John Severn, 520-220-6313, or Nevada Smith 520-642-7601; 775-482-7601, or Trail Boss Bob Spahle, [email protected], 732-1036. To R.S.V.P. for dinner contact the Re-corder of Marks and Brands Liz Severn [email protected], 220-6313. Everyone is invited. Lisa Howison Teleg-rapher Cochise County Cor-ral of the Westerners
