3 True-Crime YouTubers Arrested in Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson Neighborhood – Sheriff Nanos Cracks Down on Disruptions | No Link to Disappearance | 17GEN4 News
Updated: June 9, 2026 | 7:15 PM UTCTUCSON, Ariz. — Pima County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrested three prominent true-crime YouTubers in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood Monday evening, June 8, 2026 — the exact upscale Tucson suburb where 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her home more than four months ago. The arrests come as Sheriff Chris Nanos announced a strict new zero-tolerance policy targeting habitual offenders who have turned the quiet residential area into a chaotic hub for onlookers, content creators, and amateur sleuths.
The three individuals taken into custody are:
Alexander Zabel Jr., 54, who operates the YouTube channel “Criminal Network” — arrested on two counts of obstruction of a highway or public thoroughfare and one count of public nuisance.
Troy Lewis “DAA Juice” Bradshaw, 34, host of the “DAA JUICE” YouTube page — arrested on one count of public nuisance.
Damian Todd Enderle, 46, associated with the local crime blog/YouTube channel 857Tucson — cited (and in some reports arrested) for public nuisance and released after processing.
All three were detained near Nancy Guthrie’s residence following “numerous complaints” from frustrated neighbors about blocked roadways, trespassing, excessive noise, public urination near tents, and other disturbances that have reportedly tripled 911 calls in the area since Guthrie’s disappearance.
Sheriff Nanos, who has been vocal about the strain on local resources, released a statement emphasizing the new enforcement approach: “If you received a ticket, you will then be arrested… enough is enough.” He noted that previous warnings and citations had been ignored by repeat violators, forcing the department to escalate. The operation is not connected to the ongoing investigation into Guthrie’s disappearance itself.
Background on the Nancy Guthrie Case
Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home on the evening of January 31, 2026. She was reported missing the next morning after failing to appear at church. Door-camera footage showed a masked, armed individual tampering with the camera around the time she vanished. Authorities are treating the case as an abduction; her phone, medications, and other belongings were left behind. Despite a massive search, more than 30,000 tips, DNA analysis from gloves and the scene, and rewards totaling over $1.2 million (including FBI and family contributions), Nancy Guthrie has not been found and no one has been arrested in connection with her disappearance as of June 9, 2026.
The high-profile nature of the case — amplified by national media coverage and Savannah Guthrie’s public pleas — has drawn a steady stream of true-crime influencers, amateur investigators, and onlookers to the neighborhood for months, creating ongoing tension with residents.
Latest Updates (as of June 9, 2026):
Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the arrests and released an official statement Monday night.
The three YouTubers face misdemeanor charges; court appearances are pending.
Sheriff Nanos indicated this crackdown will continue: first-time offenders may receive citations, but repeat disruptions will result in immediate arrest and possible jail time.
The Guthrie disappearance investigation remains active with the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Office. No new leads or arrests related to the abduction have been announced.
Neighbors have welcomed the enforcement, saying the constant media and YouTuber presence has made daily life unbearable.
This latest development highlights the long-term community impact of high-profile missing-person cases, even as the search for Nancy Guthrie enters its fifth month with no resolution.
