Phoenix, AZ – Paulden Man Arrested After Fatal Auto Accident Near Chino Valley


Phoenix, AZ (June 29, 2019) – A Paulden man was arrested and charged on Thursday, June 27th, after his involvement in a deadly auto accident earlier this year.

Crime lab blood test results show that Enyart had a sedative and a narcotic painkiller in his system at the time of the auto accident on March 18th, which killed two Chino Valley High School seniors, 17-year-old Sarah Buntin and 18-year-old Nicole Nanni.
