Horses Rescued from Mud Pit

Video footage shows the dramatic rescue of a mare and her foal after the animals became trapped in a deep mud pit in Heber-Overgaard. 

Two photographers capturing shots of wild horses found the trapped horses, and a group of seven volunteers spent an hour freeing the animals using a tow rope.

Once pulled to dry land, the horses stood on their own. They were examined by veterinarians following the rescue. 

Recent heavy rains likely created the conditions that led the horses to become trapped.

Arrest Made in Tesla Dealer Fire

Mesa police are investigating suspected arson and vandalism at a Tesla dealership after several vehicles were found damaged early Monday morning.

Later on Monday, authorities arrested Ian Moses, 35, on suspicion of arson and booked him into jail.

Fire crews responded to a call around 2 a.m. and extinguished a Cybertruck on fire. No injuries were reported.

Also, several Teslas were broken into at the dealership near Riverview Auto Drive. Video from the scene shows the word “THEIF”—a misspelling of “thief”—painted on the building.

Apple Juice Recalled

More than 170,000 bottles of Martinelli’s apple juice were recalled in Arizona and 27 other states after tests detected potentially harmful levels of patulin, a mold-produced toxin often linked to rotting apples.

The juice was sold in stores in 10-ounce round glass bottles with metal screw top lids and a “Best By” expiration date of Dec. 5, 2026.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said symptoms from consuming patulin include vomiting and gastrointestinal problems. 

No health issues related to the recall have been reported. The recall was issued for 28 states.
