On Friday afternoon, a 61-year-old Sedona woman, Julie Ann Engsberg, was cited and released for the theft of President Donald Trump and Senator Martha McSally campaign signs.

According to Cottonwood Police, the theft was reported on Wednesday, September 30, 2020 by a resident who saw Engsberg take some campaign signs from the corner of West Mingus Avenue and Airport Road and put them in her vehicle and drive away.

The resident followed Engsberg to Sedona where she made a stop at a local business. The resident was able to get pictures of the signs in the back of Engsberg’s vehicle. She was followed to her residence where video was taken of Engsberg removing the signs from her vehicle and placing them along the side of her garage.

Cottonwood investigators went to Engsberg’s residence on Friday, October 2, to follow-up with the report. The campaign signs were recovered. Engsberg admitted to taking the signs and claimed she stole the signs because she was going to put them up somewhere else. In addition, she was going to purchase “patriotic stickers” to decorate the signs. She also said her neighbor is a Trump supporter so she thought about giving one of the signs to him.

Engsberg was cited and released for tampering with political signs; a misdemeanor.

That photo in the background is not Jesus Christ. It looks like some transcendental meditation guru.

Well, it occurs to ME every time I see one......BUT, I act like a responsible citizen, exercise my will power, and refrain from acting the urge out. Lessons the Democrats have obviously never learned. God help them if conservatives get P.O.'ed enough to put those lessons aside...but if the Demo/Commies keep pushing, that just might happen.

Here in Scottsdale there was a HUGE Trump sign along a major roadway near me. It lasted 1 day and was gone.

It got replaced on Friday, and today it’s been defaced with obscene words.

Neighbors of mine will put up signs for other Republican candidates, but have told me they just won’t risk having a Trump sign in their yards.

But I love the huge Trump FLAGS I see flying at some homes around here. Brave souls.

Her property looks like it could use some attention, the back of her vehicle looks like she goes around collecting junk, her picture by the painting?

I think she’s a little off balance.

The owner of the signs needs to follow up with a suit for violating their 1rst ammendment civil rights. Otherwise she’ll just get a slap on the wrist.

Everyone in Sedona is “certified” in some type of wacko new age practice. It’s one of the most stunningly beautiful places I’ve ever been, but is unfortunately filled with leftist nuts.

Pathetic excuse.

Note the photo of her Facebook page which has a "Vote Trump Out Roots Action" label - that makes her excuse a LIE!

She’s using almost the same excuse that the Grinch used when Cindy Lou Who caught him stealing her Christmas tree.

I work as a census enumerator in Yavapai County. Thousands of Trump banners and signs in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Rimrock, Cottonwood, Camp Verde, etc. Sedona? Only Biden signs.

She should be kept in jail until after the election.
