The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office had a busy weekend last weekend. On Saturday, a YCSO representative responded to a wrong-way vehicle heading south on the northbound lane of Interstate 17. Agents found the vehicle stopped on the northbound side of I-17 heading south and stopped at the median. The driver was his 37-year-old Lionel, King, who was incarcerated in the Yavapai County Jail in Verde for aggravated DUI. The MP also handled two of his ATV rollover accidents, one on Copper Basin Road and another on Crown King Road. We also responded to his one vehicle accident on Cornville Road on Sunday. On Friday, lawmakers responded to reports of a 63-year-old woman who fell into the water from a cliff just off Perkinsville Road. The woman was conscious and she was able to get out of the water, but was complaining of pain in her back. The woman was rescued and taken to hospital for treatment of pain in her back and her hip. Apparently, when a woman and her son were taking pictures while hiking, she lost her footing and stepped back over her edge.
