Lezmond Mitchell
Convicted of murdering a woman and her 9-year-old granddaughter in 2001, the Navajo man from Round Rock, Arizona, is the sole Native American on federal death row. His execution was put on hold in December so the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could investigate potential racial bias in its initial deliberation.

David Keller
In an attempt to prove how easy it is to register an emotional support animal, the Prescott Valley resident uploaded a picture of a beehive onto a service animal registration website. The story received national attention after his “service bees” were accepted by the site.

Douglas Haig
The Mesa man recently pleaded guilty to federal charges related to running an illegal ammunition business out of his home. He unlawfully sold ammo to the Las Vegas massacre gunman in 2017 after the two met at a gun show.
