Friend arrested in Arizona.....how do I find him.

Question

I don't know the name of the town where he was working. Or where he was staying. Or the name of the town where he possibly could have been arrested. He sent me a text 3 hours ago telling me that he was getting pulled over. I haven't heard anything for almost 3 hours. I know he has a prison record in CA. The only information I do have is that he was going to Needles, Ca area to bring his ex-wife and daughter to Illinois. He would not go into California. But he has my truck and I live in Illinois. I want to find out how to find him if he has been arrested and locate my truck.

Answer 1

If he was arrested in AZ, he was probably arrested by the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS). If he was booked into jail, he probably went to either the Bullhead City Jail, or the Mohave Coutny Jail.

You can contact the Bullhead Police at:

Bullhead City

Police Department

1255 Marina Blvd.

Bullhead City, AZ  86442

You can contact the Mohave County Jail Detention at:

Mohave County Jail

415 Pine Street

Kingman, AZ 86401

Phone: [phone]

Answer 2

You'll have to wait until he calls again, or you can just report your car stolen and then drop the charges on him.

Hopefully you have a house phone?  He'll be able to make a collect call so lets hope he does and at least has that person call you back.  If he gets arrested your car will be in impound and he will need money to get it out.

He may even have to stay in jail a few days if he can't get bailed out.

I think the person below me has the best answer for you tho.  

Unless he's called now.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Your best bet would be to contact the Arizona Highway Patrol.  Explain the situation to them, they can send out a message to the local law enforcement agencies requesting the department that made contact with him contact the AHP.  It may take several hours, but hopefully they'll get back to you.
