1. Lake Havasu City Police request assistance in criminal damage case (thestandardnewspaper.online) — Lake Havasu City police are asking for the public’s help identifying two e‑bike riders linked to vandalism in restrooms at Avalon Park and Dick Samp Park on June 5. Restrooms were heavily damaged with clogged toilets, scattered trash, and chalk powder, and surveillance images of the suspects have been released. Residents can share tips with police or Havasu Silent Witness, anonymously if they prefer. 
2. New short-term boat rental services prompt liability concerns from law enforcement (azcapitoltimes.com) — State lawmakers and Lake Havasu City officials are pushing new insurance rules for peer‑to‑peer boat rentals after a spike in crashes and uninsured damage on Lake Havasu and the Colorado River. Local rental operators say informal app-based rentals undercut safety and taxes, while the city worries about lost revenue and law enforcement warns that renters often wrongly assume they’re covered.
3. ‘Storage Wars' star Darrell Sheets' son Brandon shares plans for dad's store (star-telegram.com) — Lake Havasu City police and the county medical examiner confirmed that “Storage Wars” personality Darrell Sheets died by suicide at a Chandler Drive home here in April. His son Brandon says the family will keep Darrell’s Havasu antique shop and social media active, and plans to reopen the store when they’re ready, inviting fans to support his legacy.
4. New leads and dead ends, Mohave County Investigators need help identifying 'Sleeping Bag Man' (abc15.com) — Mohave County investigators are again asking Lake Havasu residents for help identifying “Sleeping Bag Man,” a John Doe found shot near Sand Isle Cove in 2000. New tips point to a onetime Kokomo’s bartender at the London Bridge Resort and possible Indiana ties, and detectives are urging anyone with information or relevant DNA matches to contact MCSO.
5. Can I proceed with probate if I can't find a will but have a witness? (justia.com) — A Lake Havasu City resident describes losing her longtime boyfriend here and now struggling to locate his will while distant relatives threaten her access to his home. An attorney on a legal Q&A site explains that she’ll need at least a signed copy of the will to start probate and suggests searching locally, including contacting Mohave County attorneys who might have drafted or stored it.
