Update: RICHARD STEVEN MENDIVIL


Published/Last Modified on Friday, March 14, 2008 3:06 PM MDT


Thanks to the efforts of the Douglas community and the local newspaper Douglas Dispatch, Cochise County Adult Probation was able to have sex offender Richard Mendivil arrested on a warrant issued from Cochise County Superior Court.  The Community of Douglas went above and beyond to give the Adult Probation Department information on wanted probationer Richard Mendivil who was convicted of two counts for attempted molestation of a child under 14 years of age.  Mendivil failed to report to Adult Probation after serving a 8 year prison term for his conviction.  Flyers were posted throughout the Douglas community and also in the local newspaper The Douglas Dispatch.  Within hours of the postings Adult Probation received information on the whereabouts of Mendivil.  The information received led to the arrest of the defendant in California where he is in jail awaiting transfer back to Cochise County.
