Biggest thing I don't understand is why the local SO or DPS never showed up. I doubt they were THAT far out on respond time
could have been, cottonwood is 20 miles from the freeway, and there are not that many dps in that area any given time. As to the SO, I actually did patrol that area at one time for the SO. Often times any backup I had was even further away. It was a long time ago, but some times there were only a couple of us for a county the size of some states.
