Mesa Police Wrap-Up: Pedestrian Incident, Sexual Assault Arrest, and Airport Detention Incident

Published 6 months, 1 week ago
Description
Mesa emergency crews responded on Wednesday to a pedestrian-involved incident at the intersection of East Main Street and North Warker Road. According to National Injury Help, the crash resulted in injuries to the pedestrian and traffic in the area was temporarily disrupted while emergency services provided aid. Mesa police are investigating.

Collaborative law enforcement operations led to an arrest on October 6 in connection with a sexual assault that occurred in 2023. According to Your Valley, the Mesa Crime Lab worked with the Gilbert Police Department and Phoenix police to apprehend the suspect. This case is now closed following the arrest and multi-agency investigation.

Mesa police activity extended outside city lines, as reported by KJZZ, during an incident at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport where officers detained Wesley Leasy and his daughter at gunpoint. While Mesa police were searching for a white male suspected in an alleged shooting, Leasy’s car reportedly matched the suspect vehicle description. Both individuals were searched and released after officers determined they were not involved. The incident is currently the subject of a legal claim against the cities of Mesa and Phoenix, with outcome pending.

No active public requests for assistance in locating suspects have been reported in recent cases. Mesa police declined public comment on pending lawsuit matters.

Listeners will notice an increased police presence throughout Mesa and neighboring cities this past week, especially regarding traffic safety and collaborative operations in high-profile historic investigations.

Mesa continues to see incidents involving traffic collisions, pedestrian safety concerns, and ongoing efforts to resolve cold cases, with notable collaboration between local and regional law enforcement agencies.

No current suspect descriptions are being circulated for ongoing investigations, and authorities request that anyone with information on any recent incidents contact Mesa Crime Line at 480-644-2211 or submit tips to Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.

Listeners are advised there have been no emerging crime patterns beyond ongoing efforts to resolve historic cases and address pedestrian and traffic safety.
