YouTubers arrested near Nancy Guthrie home, sheriff calls behavior 'scary' – USA Today

Three true crime YouTubers covering the Nancy Guthrie case have been arrested after months of complaints.
The streamers were arrested after Guthrie’s neighbors in Tucson, Arizona, complained, as well as an alleged public urination incident, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told the Arizona Republic, part of the USA TODAY Network.
CriminalNetwork YouTuber Alexander Zabel Jr. and streamers Troy Lewis Bradshaw and Damian Todd Enderle were arrested on June 8. Zabel, 54, was cited on two counts of obstructing a highway or thoroughfare and one count of public nuisance. Bradshaw, 34, was cited on one count of public nuisance. Enderle, 46, was cited for public nuisance and released.
While Enderle and Bradshaw were arrested in Guthrie’s neighborhood, Zabel was arrested at a home on Tucson’s east side.
Nanos decided to take a stronger approach after video footage surfaced of one of the three men urinating behind a tent.
“Sheriff Nanos will no longer tolerate behavior that disrupts the community or violates the law,” Kevin Adger, a spokesperson for the department, said in an email to the Arizona Republic. “Effective immediately, individuals found in violation of the law may be cited and released on a first offense.”
Adger added that repeat offenders may be booked into the Pima County Adult Detention Complex on charges of public nuisance.
Nanos told KVOA in a story published Wednesday, June 10, that his department has extensively communicated with streamers and content creators frequenting the area in order to help maintain order, with no luck.
“We started getting calls from the neighbors about a certain group of these, I’ll use the word, YouTubers, but the complaints got to be pretty egregious in that the behavior of those individuals was becoming pretty scary, pretty frightful to the neighborhood,” he told the station, adding that he has the support of Pima County Attorney Laura Conover.
In a statement to USA TODAY Thursday, Conover said that Nanos has been informed of “potential criminal charges available involving misdemeanor public nuisance citations” and that “these cases like all other cases must be thoroughly evaluated to see if they reach the threshold for prosecution in our office.”
Nancy Guthrie has not been found. Law enforcement officials have emphasized that the search for the 84-year-old remains an active investigation, with Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos telling People magazine in a May 13 interview that he thinks they’re “getting closer” on answers.
Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, disappeared on Feb. 1 after authorities say she was taken against her will in the middle of the night. Savannah Guthrie and her family have continued to urge fans and the public to reach out to authorities with any relevant information.
Since then, the area has attracted true crime fans and streamers, often livestreaming near her home. Deputies initially prohibited parking in the area and issued warnings, followed by the posting of no trespassing signs and citations. Despite those efforts, the department said violations continued.
Law enforcement has yet to find her or identify a potential abductor, with no significant developments or breakthroughs in the investigation in months.
Law enforcement asks anyone with information to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (520-351-4900) or 88-CRIME.
