On January 6, 1894, Prescott Constable Louis C. Miller, shot Prescott Police Chief Miles Archibald. Seems the constable had arrested a suspect on a warrant but the Police Chief took exception and during an argument that ensued Archibald was shot at least twice. Other notable constables: Nathan Parda Pierce, on June 3, 1868, was elected as the first Prescott Constable. In 1878, Virgil Earp, brother of famous Wyatt Earp, was operating a sawmill when he was elected Constable of the Prescott Precinct. Source: City of Prescott Police Dept. historical records.

In 1922, Constable R. L. McDonald climbed up the side of Tempe Butte, armed with a Winchester rifle, and arrested Bill and Babe Lawrence who had fled there after the murder of a deputy sheriff and a highway patrolman. Bill was later sentenced to death by hanging. McDonald received a $2500 reward, a princely sum in those days. Source: Arizona Republican newspaper-1924.
