The victim was transported to the ICU, and Mesa police are seeking public tips to identify the suspect vehicle. Listeners with information are encouraged to contact Mesa police. The investigation is ongoing.

A barricade situation unfolded near University Drive and Greenfield Road on November 5 after a domestic violence call led authorities to a residence where a woman was found injured. Police negotiated with the alleged suspect, who remained inside for several hours before surrendering. Two individuals were hospitalized, and evacuation protocols were enacted for nearby homes. The case remains under investigation.

Earlier in the week, a traffic incident on Country Club Drive near US-60 involved an elderly man crashing his vehicle into a local dental office. No serious injuries were reported, and police determined the crash was accidental due to a medical issue.

Mesa police responded to a collision where a driver suffered a medical emergency related to a bee sting and subsequently collided with a pedestrian and a pole. The incident is under investigation, and the driver was treated for medical complications.

A 52-year-old teacher at American Leadership Academy near Stapley Drive was arrested for alleged aggravated assault after a physical altercation with a 14-year-old student during gym class. Police have made an arrest in the case and confirmed ongoing review.

Mesa authorities were involved in a shutdown of an alleged animal cruelty case, dating back to 2018, with out-of-state arrest of a suspect previously wanted in Mesa for the neglect of over fifty dogs. The arrest status has concluded, with the suspect now in custody.

A Turquoise Alert was issued for Yolyn Hermios, who was reported missing near her home on November 1, but this alert was canceled when police verified she had returned safely Tuesday night.

Mesa police body camera video captured a chaotic evacuation at a hotel near Alma School Road and US-60 after guests reported illness during a carbon monoxide leak tied to improperly installed tankless water heaters. Emergency responders evacuated guests, with several treated for symptoms of poisoning. The hotel's water heaters have since been replaced and the city issued a code violation for lack of carbon monoxide alarms where fuel-burning appliances were operated. This incident led to pending civil litigation, with the investigation now closed and code compliance in progress according to city officials.
