Overview
- Investigators arrested Dachel Roberto Michel Campos, 37, and Jesus Daniel Rodriguez Yordy, 23, after finding them in a hotel room linked to the stolen fuel.
- A deputy traced diesel leaking from a parked U‑Haul to shoeprints that led directly to the hotel room where the suspects were taken into custody.
- A search of the U‑Haul uncovered seven containers holding roughly 2,100 gallons of diesel that were returned to the affected northern Arizona stations.
- Evidence seized in the room included a credit card skimmer, multiple credit cards, receipts for tools tied to burglaries, and keys to the U‑Haul, which officials say show planning beyond opportunistic theft.
- The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office is still seeking a third suspect and a newer-model black Ford F‑650 that left before deputies arrived, and the agency asks the public to submit tips to YCSO or Yavapai Silent Witness.
