YCSO Deputies Arrest A Man For Illegally Camping On State Lands In Cordes Junction

Yavapai County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man in Cordes Lakes Thursday, after he had been unlawfully living on state land for some time. Deputies arrested 41-year-old Timothy Bovial on multiple charges. Bovial left quite a mess behind as he was taken into custody. Chris Baker with the state land department arrived with two, 40-foot flatbed heavy haulers, a tow truck, and an entire junk removal/clean up crew, to remove multiple RV’s and all the associated trash and junk at the campsite. YCSO deputies have been working on this case in Cordes Lakes for some time. The department has been working diligently to patrol state land campsites and enforce restrictions on long-term camping across the county.
