On August 12, Brendan Anderson, 39, and Eileen Dukes, 41, were arrested and charged with trespassing and littering in the Navajo County Jail. They were both held with a $5,000 secured bond.
In September 2021, the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office was contacted regarding a trespassing complaint east of Snowflake off Old Woodruff Road. Agents contacted Anderson and Dukes about the property, and when asked about the property, they said they knew the owner and had permission to stay.
On June 10, an NCSO Community Resources representative confirmed ownership of this property. A lieutenant determined that Anderson and Dukes were occupying private and state property. They both admitted that they did not know the owner of the property and that they had trespassed.
They were contacted by agents on two different occasions and given sufficient time to vacate the property and clean up the mess. Action has been taken.
On August 12, the NCSO arrested both Anderson and Dukes. Contractors hired by the Arizona Land Department have removed over 26,000 pounds of trash from the property, in addition to two travel his trailers. Private property owners share decontamination costs with the state.
“These types of incidents are on the rise across the county,” Sheriff David Claus said in a news release. “When a property owner notifies my office, we work with our partners to develop a solution so that the property owner can get their property back. Regional Resources Officer, Arizona Land We thank the Department, Navajo County Public Works, and the Navajo County Attorney’s Office for their efforts.”
