For the second time this month, the founder of Veterans on Patrol, Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, was arrested Sunday afternoon on suspicion of trespassing, according to Sgt. Kimberly Bay of the Tucson Police Department.
Meyer, also known as Lewis Arthur, gained national attention after claiming through social media that his group discovered an abandoned homeless camp that was used for child sex trafficking near West Valencia Road and Interstate 19. Local law enforcement officials said those claims were investigated and that no evidence was found to support the claims.
His arrest earlier this month was also on suspicion of trespassing, according to the Pima County Sheriffโs Department.
Deputies were investigating a separate incident when they came across videos Meyer posted on YouTube that gave officers probable cause to make the arrest, Deputy Daniel Jelineo, a sheriffโs department spokesman, told the Star on July 10.
Bay said more information on Meyerโs Sunday arrest will be released on Monday.
