Joseph Martinez Ramirez is the featured fugitive on day 16 of Yavapai Silent Witness’ Catch 22 program.
In May of 2023, a Department of Public Safety trooper observed a vehicle traveling south on Highway 69. The vehicle was clocked on radar going 85 mph in a 55 mph zone. As the trooper attempted to conduct a traffic stop, the vehicle accelerated to 91 mph and was swerving within the lane of travel. Once stopped, the driver and sole occupant, Joseph Martinez Ramirez, was ultimately arrested for DUI, possession of dangerous drugs, and drug paraphernalia. The trooper also discovered an AK-47 style rifle in the rear seat, and Ramirez was also charged with weapons misconduct.
Ramirez was later found guilty of these charges and placed on probation. He has failed to meet the terms and conditions of his probation and a felony warrant has been issued for his arrest. Ramirez has a prior address in Prescott Valley. He is 5’ 9” and weighs 120 lbs and has a tattoo on his right forearm.
