A Yuma gang member wanted on a felony warrant was arrested Wednesday at the Sun Vista RV Resort in Yuma, Arizona after a trailer-to-trailer search by Yuma police, Yuma County Sheriff deputies and Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents.

Aaron Quiroz, 22, a member of the Okietown street gang who goes by the name of Little Chief.

According to Yuma police, at about 6:26 p.m. Wednesday, officers spotted a white Toyota Camry driving recklessly through the intersection of 32nd Street and Avenue 8E, nearly colliding with three separate vehicles.

As the officers were pulling around in an attempt to catch up and conduct a traffic stop on the Toyota Camry, which was headed westbound on 32nd Street, the vehicle drove into the sandy desert area on the south side of the street in the 7700 block.

When officers pulled up, they saw the driver, now identified as Quiroz, running from the vehicle south through the desert, and began to chase him on foot. Quiroz ran into the trailer park at 7201 E. 32nd St.

Officers set up a perimeter on the trailer park and with the assistance YCSO and the Border Patrol conducted a trailer-to-trailer search of the RV park. Some trailers were temporarily evacuated for the safety of those residents.

Officers attempted to contact Quiroz using a P/A system, but he refused to come out from where he was hiding. They found him at about 10:45 p.m. hiding in a shed next to a trailer on the south side of the park. Quiroz was taken into custody without further incident.

Construction is underway on three projects in Beeville that could bring at least 200 recreational vehicles to town.

The largest and most impressive project is located on an expansive property on the city’s east side near the old railroad right of way, between North Archer Street on the west and the U.S. 181 Bypass on the east.

The project, which goes by the name Amistad, will provide as many as 60 new RV spaces in the first phase and the same number in the second phase.

The South Tyler Mobile Home Park located between that street and East Dolan Street, is expanding its facilities.
Plans are to put in 38 RV sites and an additional five mobile home sites.

Some clearing work has been done on another RV park on South Lightburne Street that will create an unknown number of RV sites. The building inspector said there are few details on the scope of that project at this time.

Campground and RV park operators, hurt by the state’s hot, dry summer, are anticipating a rebound this season because of “winter Texans,” those out-of-state residents who migrate to the warmer parts of the Lone Star State to avoid the coldest weeks back home.

“Many of our affiliates are reporting much higher bookings for the winter season than they experienced last year,” said Brian Schaeffer, executive director and CEO of the Texas Association of Campground Owners.

This summer’s drought hurt many RV parks and campgrounds, particularly those located on lakes or rivers.

“Last summer was the worst summer I’ve had in years due to the drought,” said Doug Shearer, owner of Parkview Riverside RV Resort in Concan, near Uvalde. “But our winter is looking good.”

Shearer said reservations were running 10 to 15 percent ahead of last winter.

Bryan Kastleman, managing partner at Hill Country RV Resort in New Braunfels, said his bookings are up because of more than just winter Texans. He said the surge in the San Antonio economy is creating a need for workers to find temporary places to stay.

“It’s looking really strong,” Kastleman said of the winter bookings.
