🚨 SVPD INVESTIGATES MULTIPLE BOMB THREATS; NO CREDIBLE THREAT FOUND 🚨

The Sierra Vista Police Department has released information regarding several bomb threats reported at local businesses last week. After thorough investigations, authorities determined there is no credible threat to the public.

According to Sierra Vista Police, Fire, and EMS:

“On Thursday, June 18, at about 3:40 p.m., SVPD responded to Cool Cuts located on Fry Boulevard for a report of bomb threats. It was reported that an unknown person called the business and threatened to bring a gun and bombs. The suspect caller’s voice was altered and digitized. The employees closed the business for the day and no bombs were found at the business.”

Approximately 10 minutes later, authorities were notified of additional threats involving The Mall at Sierra Vista.

“At about 3:50 p.m. on Thursday, security officers at The Mall at Sierra Vista began to receive calls from an unknown persons stating bombs had been placed around the movie theater and food court areas inside the mall. The security officers also reported the caller’s voice had been altered and digitized.”

As a precaution, the mall was evacuated while officers investigated.

“SVPD requested assistance from Fort Huachuca’s K9s training in explosives detection. The K9s were deployed in the mall and no explosives were located. The mall was reopened for business after it was determined the area was safe.”

A third threat was reported the following day.

“On Friday, June 19, at about 12:30 p.m., SVPD responded to another telephoned bomb threat at Food City. Officers checked the interior and exterior of the store and no evidence of explosives was found.”

SVPD reports the phone number associated with the calls was untraceable and investigators believe the incidents are similar to recent “swatting” calls reported in the Tucson area.

“It was determined that there is no credible threat to the public related to these phone calls.”

We appreciate the quick response by Sierra Vista Police Department, Fort Huachuca personnel, mall security, and all first responders who worked to ensure the safety of our community.

🚨 SUSPECT IDENTIFIED FOLLOWING FRIDAY NIGHT BARRICADE INCIDENT IN SIERRA VISTA 🚨

The Sierra Vista Police Department has released additional information regarding the barricade situation that occurred Friday evening in the 200 block of Valerie Lane.

Police have identified the suspect as Edwin Batiste, 35- Years-Old.

The following information is being shared directly from the Sierra Vista Police Department:

“Sierra Vista, AZ. 06/22/26. The Sierra Vista Police Department arrested a suspect on several charges including aggravated assault and kidnapping following a barricade situation in the 200 block of Valerie Lane on Friday night.

SVPD officers responded to a report of shots fired in the area at about 8 p.m. on Friday. A 911 caller reported her brother had been shot at a residence. She responded to the address and took the victim to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

When officers arrived on scene, they commanded the occupants of the residence to exit. One man obeyed and exited, however the suspect and one other individual remained inside. Officers established a perimeter and issued a shelter in place warning to the surrounding area.

The Cochise County Regional SWAT team responded to the location with crisis negotiators. The non-suspect individual attempted to exit the residence multiple times, but the suspect refused to allow them to leave.

After about two hours the male hostage exited the residence and was taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. An hour later, following non-lethal tactics deployed by the SWAT team, the suspect surrendered and was taken into custody.

The suspect was booked in the Cochise County Jail on two counts of domestic violence/aggravated assault, two counts of domestic violence/disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon, one count of unlawful discharge of a firearm, one count of discharge of firearm at a structure, and one count of domestic violence/kidnapping.”

CoolFMLive will continue to follow this case and provide updates as additional information becomes available.

There are mornings when the world seems wrapped in uncertainty.

The sky is heavy. The horizon is hidden. Storm clouds gather where we hoped for clear sailing. Looking ahead, it can be difficult to tell whether the day holds sunshine or rain.

Yet notice something about this scene.

Despite all those clouds, there is still a ribbon of light along the horizon. The darkness has not won.

It never does.

Life often unfolds this way. We spend so much energy staring at the clouds overhead that we forget to look for the light still shining beneath them. We focus on the challenges, the setbacks, the worries, and the unknowns. Meanwhile, hope quietly waits at the edge of our vision, patient and persistent.

The yuccas standing on this hillside have weathered countless storms. Fierce winds have bent them. Drought has tested them. Seasons have come and gone around them. Yet here they remain. Not because life has been easy, but because they were built to endure.

So were you.

As this new week begins, remember that strength is not the absence of difficulty. Strength is continuing forward when the path is uncertain. It is trusting that beyond today's clouds there are brighter skies waiting their turn.

The light is still there.
Keep your eyes on it.

Have a wonderful week filled with smiles, new challenges, and strengthened bonds.
