MOHAVE VALLEY โ Mohave County authorities say a body found in the Colorado River has been identified as that of a wanted man who apparently drowned accidentally after going into the river to avoid being taken into custody during an April 5 attempted traffic stop.
The Sheriff's Office says 38-year-old Joshua Jenkins of Mohave Valley was wanted on active felony warrants and that that sheriff's detectives believe he was trying to evade capture during an April 5 attempted travel stop involving a vehicle later found abandoned.
The Mohave County medical examiner's Office identified the body found Saturday as Jenkins and ruled his death was an accidental drowning.
