Sheriff's Office seeks volunteer lake posse and will follow up on abandoned motorhome
Summary
Lt. Lahti and Deputy Knudson reported the abandoned motorhome on Orange remains and that the sheriff's office lacks a towing contract for large RVs; deputies logged 146 hours on the water last month with 41 calls (16 emergencies) and asked residents to contact Sgt. Engler to join a volunteer posse.
Gila County Sheriff's Office staff told the Roosevelt Estates meeting that the abandoned motorhome on Orange is still present and that the office will follow up, but that towing large RVs is complicated because the county lacks a contract with tow companies that have the necessary equipment.
Lt. Lahti introduced Deputy Knudson, who gave a monthly activity summary: the office spent 146 hours on the water, handled 41 calls (16 of them emergencies), and issued 43 warnings. Knudson said the sheriff's office would welcome volunteer posse members because deputies should not be on the lake alone; residents interested in volunteering were asked to contact Sgt. Engler.
The sheriff's office did not announce a timeline for removing the motorhome at the meeting and did not name a contractor; officials said they would follow up with residents.
