SEDONA, AZ – A Phoenix man has been arrested for allegedly exposing his genitals to two sisters and inappropriately touching one of them on a trailhead outside Sedona.
Dwight D’Evelyn with the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office said officials responded to a report of indecent exposure at the Boynton Canyon Trailhead around 2:45 p.m. Monday.
A 27-year-old female and her 26-year-old sister provided a description of the suspect, including a vehicle description with a license plate.
Within 20 minutes, Sedona Police Officers and US Forest Service Law Enforcement personnel said they stopped the suspect vehicle, according to D’Evelyn.
The driver was identified as 30-year-old Phoenix resident Joshua Lee Boyd, who apparently admitted inappropriate contact with the two victims.
He also reportedly acknowledged drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana the previous evening.
D’Evelyn said deputies learned that Boyd approached one of the females, who was facing away from him and bending over to tie her shoes, and rubbed his exposed genitalia against her buttocks.
She turned to face him and both sisters yelled at him to get away, according to YCSO.
Boyd reportedly got into his car and left the area.
Boyd was arrested and booked at the Camp Verde Detention Center for 2 counts of Public Sexual Indecency, 2 counts of Indecent Exposure and DUI Drugs.
