Day 22 “Catch 22” Suspect Jonathan Richard Bracher Arrested In Phoenix

Another suspect on Yavapai Silent Witness’s “Catch 22” list has been arrested. Yavapai County Sheriff’s officials say “Day 22” suspect 28-year-old Jonathon Robert Bracher, from Prescott Valley, was arrested last Wednesday afternoon in the Phoenix area. Back on November 21st, 2017, Bracher was moving out of a Prescott Valley home and stole two guns on his way out. He is a convicted felon and is prohibited from possessing a firearm. Then on December 7th of 2017, Yavapai County Sheriff’s officials say a deputy noticed a car driving slowly north on I-17 in Black Canyon City so he tried to stop it. When the deputy ran a check on the car he found it was owned by Bracher and there was a missing person’s report out on him. The car pulled away from the deputy and started going south on northbound I-17. The deputy didn’t follow for safety reasons. Moments later, DPS located the car in the area of Bumble Bee Road and indicated the driver had fled after backing into a guardrail. Bracher was taken into custody last year, but violated his release conditions. Bracher was found in west Phoenix, leaving his apartment on foot. He was taken into custody without incident.
