In what appears to be a new form of harassment by authorities and their ties with the media, the Pima County Attorney’s office has released the photos of three men they say are wanted for questioning in relation to an attempted burglary of solar panels. A house sitter saw the men on the roof with flashlights, drove down the street and phoned the owner she works for. After being informed no one was supposed to be on her roof, she called the police.
The Pima County Attorney’s office released photos of three men. One picture belonging to Lewis Arthur, the other Paul Flores. The third man is not with VOP. What is telling is if you read the article, the house sitter says she only recognized one of the men in the three pictures.
The Pima County Attorney’s Office has since released a press release asking the public for information on three men believed to be in connection of “suspicious activity.” Officials have not released their names and say this is an on going investigation. One of those men pictured Mader says she recognizes from the incident.
I am of the suspicion, since I do not in any way believe neither Lewis nor Flores would ever do something like this, that the man she recognized is the third man not associated with VOP and their ministry that is calling them to save trafficked women and children. Paul Flores has issued a challenge on his twitter that their whereabouts can be verified by cell phone towers.

Lewis says they were making live video at the time, but I have not been able to locate the live video. He also says Border Patrol can verify they were out there, but I wouldn’t want to rely on testimony from those whose bosses seem to have an interest in business as usual on that border. I would suggest that any records that can be obtained from the tracking device they are using now be used, although it is my belief that the probable reason for their pictures being released is to instill memories of their faces in the general public as people to be wary of. And to continue trying to wear them down with the growing legal harassment.
Of concern to me however was the call to out the woman who was the house sitter. While I understand that it must seem that everyone is potentially an enemy, after a cursory examination it appears to me that this woman never implicated anyone from VOP, that it was solely the doings of the Attorneys office with the aid of the propaganda program called the news.
I would caution Lewis and VOP of being so quick to judge others, just as you have not appreciated it as it happens to you daily. Until proven differently, this woman deserves her privacy and respect as much as anyone. I am hopeful that in the future more reservation will be taken before stirring up some of the followers who have faith and appreciation for what it is you are doing out there. Given how large this has gotten, you might consider placing someone you trust as level headed into a role where they monitor and assess the propaganda game being played against you. It took me all of 10 minutes to see that this sitter has never committed herself against you in the smear article/video to VOP being involved, saying she only recognized one man from the pictures. Please leave this woman alone. She deserves better. Please, take a breath and let someone not exhausted from scouring that desert and being hassled by the authorities analyze the threats in the city before reacting.
As for KVOA news and the Pima County Attorney’s office, your publishing three pictures when only one was identified reveal the grudge that exists in your hearts for VOP. Your desire for the trafficking of drugs and humans through that desert are made obvious by actions such as this. Shame on you for portraying them in a false light, when NO connection seems to exist between them and this story.
