Pima County sheriff’s deputies arrested a well-known pedophilia conspiracist Monday morning on charges related to stealing and damaging water tanks belonging to a humanitarian group.

Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer faces two felony counts of third-degree burglary as well as misdemeanor counts of theft and criminal damage.

Meyer is the same man who last summer ignited a fast-burning conspiracy theory that he had discovered a homeless camp for pedophiles on Tucson's southwest side, near Interstate 19 and West Valencia Road.

Meyer announced his alleged discovery on property belonging to Cemex in May 2018, but Tucson police investigated afterward and decided it was not a pedophile camp, as he claimed. After that, he became connected to the QAnon conspiracy campaign, which alleges a global conspiracy of sex traffickers, and patrolled the deserts around Marana and later Three Points, often broadcasting his desert walks via Facebook Live.

He also started the Veterans on Patrol homeless camp near Tucson’s Santa Rita Park, which has since been shut down by city officials.

Various times in the last year, Meyer has videotaped himself emptying water from barrels left out by Humane Borders, accusing them of being part of a cross-border child-sex-trafficking conspiracy.
