Ron Martin6 years ago2 years ago1 mins

KINGMAN – An alleged child abductor babbled biblically during an extradition hearing before a Kingman judge last week. Judge Billy Sipe ended the hearing without getting Dustin Messner, 37, to waive extradition to return to California. Messner allegedly kidnapped his eight-year-old son in Stockton in early April before the boy was rescued and he was arrested at his property in Golden Valley. Messner told Judge Sipe last Thursday that he wasn’t bound by Arizona or Mohave County law and that he only followed the law of God. A Governor’s warrant will be used to return Messner to California for prosecution.

Education and the CARES Act

Dear Editor, As Chair of the Arizona Senate Education Committee, I passionately work toward bettering the education of every child in the state and I fully support Arizona parents and their school choice rights, including public, charter, private, and homeschool. The COVID-19 Pandemic has brought about changes in the way Arizona’s children have been educated for the last three months of this school year. My concern is for any child who might have fallen through the cracks or who was behind before the shutdown and is now continuing to struggle, especially our little ones with reading and our high school…
