Two Men Arrested on Child Exploitation Charges in Arizona, Arkansas

Michael Armijo, a 26-year-old man from Buckeye, Arizona, was arrested on multiple felony charges, including child sex trafficking, luring a minor, and sexual conduct with a minor, following a series of incidents involving high school students. Armijo was linked to at least two indecent exposure incidents: one near a Fry's grocery store and another in the Canyon View High School parking lot, where two female students reported seeing him masturbating. One 15-year-old student reported that Armijo offered her a ride, took her to the parking lot, and engaged in sexual contact before taking her home. Despite initially denying the allegations and being released with a traffic citation and trespass notice, Armijo was later detained during a traffic stop near his home. Investigators confirmed Armijo had no connection to the school, and the investigation remains ongoing. These incidents prompted cooperation between school resource officers and local police to ensure the community's safety.
