At 3:17 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, a two-vehicle, collision with injuries occurred on Anita Drive and East Carlos Street. The vehicles involved were a 2025 Toyota Rav4 driven by Victor Sanchez, 54, of Holbrook, and a Yamaha Raptor four-wheeler driven by a 12-year-old boy with a 12-year-old boy as a passenger. According to the report, Sanchez was driving down East Carlos Street when the boys came out of an alleyway and ran into the rear passenger side of the vehicle, causing damage. One of the boys was experiencing head pain and was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital. The driver of the four-wheeler was cited for no registration, no insurance and no helmet or safety equipment.

The vehicles involved were a silver 2006 Lexus driven by Ashley Minniti, 35, of Holbrook and a gray 2016 Ford station wagon driven by a 15-year-old boy with passenger Kelly Hatch, 58, of Holbrook, as the supervising adult. According to the report, officers initially responded to a report of a woman driving erratically on West Florida Street, driving in circles and going back and forth before striking a vehicle that was driving through the intersection. When officers arrived, Ashley Minniti was allegedly frantic and crying hysterically asking officers to arrest her because it was all her fault. When Minniti’s husband Neil Minniti arrived on scene she began yelling and lunging at him so she was handcuffed and seated in a police vehicle. Ashley was charged with DUI, DUI with a blood alcohol content of .08% or more, DUI with a blood alcohol content of .15% per more and extreme DUI with a blood alcohol content. .20% or more. She was booked into the Navajo County Jail.
