Tree Cutting Suspect Arrested

Henderson, Nev. – A 58-year-old man was arrested early Saturday in connection with at least 83 trees being cut down in the Sun City Anthem area. The destroyed trees were valued at $57,000.

Douglas Raymond Hoffman was charged with one felony count of injury to other property (NRS 206.310). He was booked into the Henderson Detention Center about 5:30 a.m. Saturday and released on $3,000 bond about six hours later.

Hoffman’s arrest came after a citizen was driving home from work about 2:15 a.m. Saturday and noticed some trees had been cut down that were standing the day before at Sun City Anthem Parkway and Scotts Valley. The man then drove around the area searching for a possible suspect.

At the intersection of Sun City Anthem and Anthem Parkway, the man saw someone with his left hand on the trunk of a tree and his right hand moving back and forth. The witness confronted the suspect and found a handsaw concealed inside the suspect’s coat.

The witness took the man to a nearby firehouse and called police. The suspect, later identified as Hoffman, denied any wrongdoing, claiming he found the saw.

There have been several incidents of trees being cut down in the Sun City Anthem area including the most recent incidents in October and February. There have been no arrests in those cases. The investigations into those crimes are continuing.

The trees that were cut down Saturday were in common areas of the development and not in residents’ yards. The owner of the trees is the Anthem Council, a group which oversees the community associations and manages the landscape services for Anthem. The council is controlled by Pulte Homes representatives.

Questions regarding the Anthem Council or Pulte Homes may be directed to Allison Copening, Pulte Homes/Del Webb Director of Public Affairs, (702) 914-4777 or cell phone (702) 496-6664.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Henderson Police Department at 267-5000 or Crime Stoppers at 385-5555.
