Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio brought about 100 posse volunteers and deputies to Mesa on Monday, about three weeks after a two-day crime sweep that netted scores of arrests.

The Sheriff’s Office notified Mesa police when they started their enforcement about 2 p.m., Mesa Assistant Chief John Meza said. He added that Mesa police offered to provide assistance if needed.
