A project thatâs been in the works for more than two years is nearing completion. The Town of Parkerâs Magistrate Court moved into their new home at 1112 Arizona Avenue on Wednesday, Dec. 16.
The move takes the Magistrate Court out of Town Hall and puts it in a home of its own.
The Magistrate Court will occupy one-half of the building, which had been used for retail shops and offices. The new courthouse includes a reception area with key card access to the courtroom and reception office area, a bullet-proof reception window, a public and private bathroom, file room, court clerk office, jury room, judgeâs office, break room, courtroom with judgeâs bench, jury seating, and a prisoner holding area.

Kevin Wynn
In the case of The United States of America vs. Kevin Scott Wynn, an Alpine property owner was convicted of one felony count of tax evasion in the U.S. District Court for Arizona. The jury returned its verdict in December of last year. His sentencing was set for this month after a long delay due in part to Wynn absconding from his court-ordered release and being captured in Mexico in August.
