Arizonans are now free to stay out all night if they want without fear of arrest. In a series of tweets this morning, Gov. Doug Ducey announced he was not going to renew the 8 p.m. curfew he had imposed on May 31 following some rioting and looting at Scottsdale Fashion Square. Since that time there have not been major problems.
“I want to thank both the peaceful protestors and law enforcement professionals for their cooperation during Arizona’s statewide curfew,” Ducey wrote. “Arizona has avoided much of the violence we’ve seen in other states and large metro areas.”
Arizona has been the only place with a statewide curfew.
Repeated efforts to speak with Ducey have gone unanswered. That leaves only his Twitter messages.
