The indictment was announced late Thursday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Yuma Police Department (YPD) is speaking out regarding the social media rumors that have sparked from this case.
People have been questioning why the 36-year-old man, who was questioned by police, is not facing any charges, some even questioning if he’s in law enforcement.
Police Chief Thomas Garrity says that the man is not affiliated or employed with any law enforcement in Yuma County.
They also say they have no relationship with the man.
“We are not trying to hide any information on the 36-year-old that’s involved in this case. Right now, there is still an on going investigation, so yes, all the names haven’t been released, but that’s because of certain rules and restrictions that we are required by,” said Chief Garrity.
YPD says the case is still under investigation.
They ask if you have any more information, including video or other forms of evidence, to please send it their way immediately.
