The Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed YouTubers Alexander Zabel Jr., Troy Lewis “DAA Juice” Bradshaw, and Damian Todd Enderlewere all arrested.

Zabel and Bradshaw were in the Pima County Adult Detention Complex as of 10 p.m. Monday night, but we were no longer listed on the inmate roster as of 11 a.m. Tuesday. 13 News requested the interim complaint for all three, but the courthouse said no documents exist.

The PCSD said the arrests came after “numerous complaints about individuals blocking roadways, trespassing and disrupting the peace in the neighborhood.” But a recent report that one of the streamers was spotted peeing in public behind a makeshift tent appears to be the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back.

Guthrie went missing on Feb. 1, and authorities have said she was taken against her will. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI are still investigating, and while security video of the suspect was released, he or she had not been identified. Experts have told 13 News that despite that, the case has not gone cold.

Early on, the PCSD set up media areas in Guthrie’s neighborhood and warned everyone about possible trespassing charges.

On Monday, Sheriff Nanos told 13 News’ Kayla Butter that they planned to arrest a YouTuber who may have been living in a tent in the area and was seen pouring urine on a nearby property. Nanos said that the department received video evidence of him also peeing in public behind a makeshift tent.

Deputies have previously issued warnings, and the HOA has had signs put up about trespassing in the neighborhood. The PCSD has even issued citations for violations, hoping to get the streamers to leave the residents alone and clear out.

“Despite those efforts, some individuals continued to disregard the law,” the PCSD said in a release to 13 News Monday night. “Sheriff Nanos will no longer tolerate behavior that disrupts the community or violates the law. Effective immediately, individuals found in violation of the law may be cited and released on a first offense.”

The 54-year-old Zabel Junior was charged with two counts of obstructing a highway or thoroughfare and one count of public nuisance. He was being held on a $453 bond.

The 34-year-old Bradshaw was charged with one count of public nuisance and was being held on a $255 bond.

The 46-year-old Enderle, who helps manage the local crime blog 857 Tucson, was charged with one count of public nuisance. He was cited and released. During a stream Monday night, he said he would also face a fine but was unsure how much it would be.

The Pima County Deputy’s Organization, which has long been critical of Sheriff Nanos, tweeted about the arrests and said, “The public can once again see why we fight so hard to rid ourselves of him.”

During the Monday night stream, 857 Tucson said followers helped raise money to bond out both Zabel and Bradshaw.

As of 9:15 p.m., 857 Tucson was outside the Pima County Adult Detention Center, waiting for both men to be released. 857 Tucson claimed there were several people other people waiting outside the jail for the men to be released.

13 News spoke with Zabel in February when a search for Guthrie was done by a group of volunteers. Zabel told 13 News they were only there to help and didn’t want to get in the PCSD’s way or step on their toes.

Sheriff Nanos has previously said the neighbors and HOA have filed several complaints about the streamers staying in the area despite being asked to leave multiple times over the last few months.

Nanos also confirmed on Monday that a memorial for Guthrie has been removed from near her home. Nanos said it was not removed by the PCSD and that it could have been done by the HOA.

13 News’ Mary Coleman reached out to the HOA, but she has not heard back as of 7 p.m. Monday.

The PCSD said there have been tens of thousands of tips called into its and the FBI’s lines, but no suspects have been identified in the case.

The PCSD told 13 News in mid-February that one of the hardest things it is facing is vetting the multiple tips.

Anyone with information about the Guthrie case can call 1-800-CALL-FBI, 520-351-4900, or 88-CRIME.

Guthrie’s family has offered a $1 million reward for information that leads to her recovery.

The FBI has offered a $100,000 reward, while a man in Milwaukee added to it with a private $100,000 reward.

88-CRIME has already offered a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to an arrest.
