9-16-2007: CYCLIST KILLED! MESA POLICE REFUSE TO ISSUE A CITATION! Email Detective Christopher Arvayo today! Let the Mesa Police know that their inaction is intolerable! Your email should be worded along these lines:

Detective Christopher Arvayo

I ask that you reconsider your obligation to site the driver of the oversized vehicle that hit and killed cyclist Linda Cleapor on September 12th at Dobson and Baseline Roads in Mesa. Arizona Revised Statute 28-735 - better known as the 3 Foot Law - clearly states that bicyclists be given three feet of clearance when passed. It is apparent from statements that the oversized load did in fact hit Ms Cleapor and caused her injuries that resulted in her death.
