Tucson Local Pulse: Deputy Arrested, War Protests, and Community Updates for March 28

What this episode covers

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, March 28. We start with breaking news from the Pima County Sheriffs Department. Deputy Travis Reynolds was fired after his arrest Thursday on kidnapping charges by Tucson Police. According to KOLD-TV reports, he allegedly detained a female suspect in his vehicle longer than needed, showed her explicit videos, and made inappropriate advances due to their power dynamic. Surveillance footage at the jail backed parts of her account, and hes in court with a 200 thousand dollar bond. We share our communities concern for safety and trust in those who protect us. Shifting to activism, today marks No Kings Day III protests across Tucson against war and local ties to it. Three Sonorans details how over 850 Tomahawk missiles made at Raytheon Missiles and Defense off Hermans Road and I-10 have been fired at Iran in four weeks, including a strike on a girls school in Minab killing 168 students, as confirmed by the Washington Post and Bellingcat. Demonstrations kick off at 9 a.m. along eight miles of Oracle Road from Magee to 1st Avenue, plus spots on East River Road, Country Club and Speedway, and a rally from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Reid Park Bandshell with speeches by Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva. These events question our citys role in defense production amid global impacts. On a family note, the Pima County Recreation Center hosts the Eggstravaganza today from 9 a.m. to noon at 5615 North Sanders Road. Perfect for little ones hunting eggs and fun. City Hall updates include the RTA Next package funding the Sonoran Corridor highway to support Raytheon expansion through desert land, affecting our traffic and environment daily. Weather wise, sunny skies with highs near 82 degrees make outdoor events ideal, though breezy afternoons could kick up dust. Outlook stays mild through Monday. Quick jobs note, Raytheon added nearly 2 thousand positions recently, boosting our market. Real estate sees median home prices around 380 thousand, up slightly. Local schools report strong showings in recent track meets at Reid Park. And a feel-good story, community volunteers cleaned up Sabino Canyon trails yesterday, preserving our natural gem.
