Arizona Attorney General

Tom Hatten, founder of Arizona gym chain Mountainside Fitness, has endorsed Warren Petersen in the race for Arizona Attorney General.

Arizona's Attorney General announced that a man has been sentenced to prison for organized retail theft committed at Lowe's stores across the state. The case stems from theft operations targeting multiple locations, and prosecutors are presenting the sentencing as part of a wider push to crack down on organized retail crime. Details about the sentence length and the man's identity were not provided in initial reports.
