He may become disoriented due to a medical condition, and officials describe his appearance and clothing to help residents recognize him.
• Peoria breaks ground on new fire station (ktar.com) — Peoria is adding a long-awaited Fire-Medical Station 198 in the fast-growing north end of the city, a key safety upgrade for Phoenix-area residents who live or work nearby. The $20.8 million station, expected by 2027, aims to cut response times, support firefighters and paramedics, and will be joined by a temporary station opening south of the Saddleback community next month.
• Leaked Audio: Dillon Brooks' Fiery Trash Talk at Joel Embiid (theconwaybulletin.com) — A recent Phoenix Suns home game at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix featured a heated back-and-forth between forward Dillon Brooks and 76ers star Joel Embiid, now circulating via leaked audio.
