- The average price of gas in Arizona is $4.55 a gallon, according to AAA, up nearly 10 cents in the last week. A year ago, the average price was $3.36 a gallon.
In Maricopa County, data from AAA shows prices are averaging around $4.70 a gallon.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, says demand for gas usually declines this time of year as summer wraps up. He said prices have not started dropping because of ongoing geopolitical tensions. Kylee Cruz explains more on the rise.

- As Preston’s Law nears its first year, charges have doubled in two months amid rising teen violence across the Phoenix area.
Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell says teen violence is increasing across the Valley, even as overall teen crime had fallen after COVID-19. Preston’s Law makes group attacks known as swarming a Class 4 felony and increases the penalties for those involved. Prosecutors charged 63 people under the law between late September and June 4, then 124 cases from June through mid-August. Youth safety advocate Katey McPherson says the law is an important tool, but families, schools, communities and local leaders must also work together. Mitchell hopes the tougher consequences deter violence before it escalates into another tragedy like the killing of Preston Lord.

The U.S. State Department temporarily suspended government travel and consular services in Mexicali after issuing a security alert Monday night. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday the warning involved a potential criminal group and was based on U.S. intelligence. The alert urged people to avoid government buildings, seek shelter if an incident occurs and notify loved ones of their safety. Operations at the San Luis Port of Entry appeared normal Tuesday, though travelers reported a heightened law enforcement presence on the Arizona side. Families with loved ones in Mexicali say the lack of details has added to their anxiety.

- A late-Sunday dust storm left Phoenix-area cars coated by morning, and a mechanic shares steps drivers can take to prevent costly damage.
STORY: https://azfamily.news/2p84m8fe
A dust storm moved through late Sunday night, the 10th of the season, leaving a layer of dust and silt on vehicles by Monday morning. Jimmy Alauria of 3A Automotive says modern cars can handle harsh conditions, but drivers should still inspect key areas after a storm. A clogged air filter can restrict airflow, reduce gas mileage and potentially contribute to mechanical trouble over time. Drivers should avoid running dry windshield wipers over dust-covered glass, which can scratch the windshield. Alauria recommends washing vehicles after a dust storm and checking filters about every other oil change.

In the 2020 election, 90% of Arizona voters cast their ballots by mail.
Voting by mail has been popular in Arizona for about 30 years after Republican lawmakers made it legal back in the 1990s.

- Phoenix’s police chief says key questions remain after two fired officers were accused in a violent, unreported traffic stop.
https://azfamily.news/yaj5nr2s
Phoenix Police Chief Matthew Giordano says investigators still do not know what motivated two now-fired officers accused of an off-the-books traffic stop in south Phoenix. The officers face felony charges after prosecutors alleged they beat, threatened and robbed a couple during the encounter. Giordano says there is no indication other officers knew about or took part in the alleged conduct. The department is also taking a closer look at the South Mountain Precinct, where both former officers worked. The chief says a separate internal division is handling the investigation in an effort to move it quickly.
