‼️ JUVENILES ARRESTED IN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELD VANDALISM CASE ‼️

DOUGLAS, Ariz. — The Douglas Police Department has announced three arrests in connection with the vandalism reported at the Douglas High School football field earlier this month.

According to a media release from Douglas Police Department, detectives arrested three juveniles on September 15, 2026, in connection with the criminal damage incident that was reported on September 2.

Police identified the suspects as three juveniles, ages 14, 15 and 16. All three are from Bisbee, Arizona.

Each juvenile was charged with:

• Aggravated Criminal Damage
• Trespassing in the Second Degree

According to Douglas Police, incarceration was declined for all three juveniles. Juvenile referrals were forwarded to juvenile court, and all three were released to their legal guardians.

The arrests come nearly two weeks after damage was discovered at the Douglas High School football field ahead of the historic Bisbee–Douglas Pick football game.

CoolFMLive originally reported on the vandalism as authorities began investigating the incident. At that time, no suspects had been publicly identified.

This remains a juvenile court matter. CoolFMLive will continue to provide updates if additional information is released by authorities.

ARIZONA MOTORCYCLISTS: NEW LANE-SPLITTING LAW NOW IN EFFECT‼️

Motorcyclists across Arizona should be aware of an important change to state law that took effect September 12, 2026.

Under the updated A.R.S. § 28-693 and § 28-903, certain forms of illegal lane splitting are now specifically classified as reckless driving.

The law applies when a motorcycle operator illegally passes an occupied vehicle within the same lane or rides between lanes of traffic or adjacent rows of vehicles, except when the state’s legal lane-filtering exception applies.

Reckless driving is a Class 2 misdemeanor in Arizona. A conviction may also result in a judge ordering driving privileges suspended for up to 90 days. Repeat offenses can carry significantly stronger penalties.

⚠️ LANE FILTERING IS STILL LEGAL.

Arizona law continues to allow a two-wheeled motorcycle to move past stopped traffic when it can be done safely and all of these requirements are met:

• The roadway has at least two adjacent lanes traveling in the same direction.
• The posted speed limit is 45 mph or less.
• The motorcycle travels no faster than 15 mph.

The simple takeaway: Lane splitting and lane filtering are not the same thing. Arizona still permits lane filtering under specific conditions, but illegal lane splitting can now result in a reckless-driving charge.

Motorcyclists and drivers are encouraged to understand the updated law and continue watching out for one another on Arizona roads.

‼️THREE ARRESTED FOLLOWING TRESPASSING INCIDENT AT BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION SITE‼️

The Cochise County Sheriff's Office - Mark J. Dannels Sheriff has released the following information regarding the arrest of three individuals following a reported trespassing incident involving protesters at a restricted border wall construction site.

The following press release is quoted in its entirety:

“COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. — The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported trespassing incident involving multiple protesters at a restricted construction area along the international border, east of the Santa Cruz–Cochise County line.

Security personnel working for the construction company contacted the individuals and advised them they were not authorized to remain in the area. The individuals were directed to leave but refused to comply.

Several individuals subsequently moved farther into the restricted area and accessed construction materials intended for use in the border wall project. Their actions created a safety and security concern for the protesters, construction personnel, private security personnel, and responding law enforcement officers.

Deputies responded to the scene and took enforcement action. Three individuals were arrested and booked into the Cochise County Jail on charges of disorderly conduct.

Sheriff Mark Dannels stated:

“The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office respects the right of individuals to peacefully protest and express their views. That right, however, does not extend to trespassing, damaging property, interfering with lawful operations, or creating a safety hazard, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to these actions.

Our responsibility is to protect the public, protect property, and enforce the law fairly and consistently. When individuals cross that line and violate the law, they should expect law enforcement to take appropriate action.

No one is above the law. We will continue to respond to these incidents in a coordinated, professional, and deliberate manner. Our expectation is simple: individuals may exercise their lawful rights, but they must also comply with the law.”

The Sheriff’s Office will continue coordinating with federal authorities, construction personnel, and security partners regarding law enforcement and public safety concerns associated with activities in and around restricted construction areas.

The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office encourages individuals participating in demonstrations to remain in areas where they are legally permitted and to follow lawful directions from security personnel and law enforcement officers.”

⚡🌴 LIGHTNING STRIKE IGNITES PALM TREE IN SIERRA VISTA‼️

SIERRA VISTA, AZ — Emergency crews are on scene in the 900 block of Charles Drive after a palm tree was reportedly struck by lightning and caught fire amid storm activity in the area.

Residents are urged to remain weather-aware as thunderstorms continue to produce lightning across the region. Lightning can ignite trees, vegetation and other materials, and in some cases, smoke or fire may not become immediately noticeable following a strike.

If you see smoke, flames or signs of a possible fire following a lightning strike, keep a safe distance and report it to emergency services. Do not approach a burning or recently struck tree, especially while lightning remains in the area.

Anyone outdoors should seek shelter inside a substantial building or enclosed vehicle when thunder is heard and avoid trees, open areas and exposed locations until the storm has safely passed.

CoolFMLive is following the situation and will provide additional information if it becomes available.
