medical, another orejones gang member, jeremy gonzalez, witnessed the procession. i seen him that he was bloody. and being that s my home bay, like i been knowing him for a long time and me and him been through a lot and i wasn t just going to let it just ride, you know what i m saying? i let my anger kind of get the best of me, too, and popped my door and ran out there with the shank. inmate gonzalez apparently was able to defeat the locking device, open the cell door and he ran out of the cell and was holding a seven-inch piece of metal. it was made out of the top blade of a squeegee. unfortunately for gonzalez, by the time he figured out how to pop the lock on his door, hidalgo, guerrero and the sert team had already left the unit. he came running out into the day room because he thought everyone was still here fighting. he got to right about here and then he realized that, you know,
floor repeatedly hitting my cellie. it was here. guerrero then jumped on the officer s back. apparently he put him in a choke hold with his right and was banging on his head with his left. officer lighty came to his partner s defense. i came in, i grabbed guerrero by the arms, and i pulled him and tried to pull him off. but i sat there for a few minutes, you know, wrestling with him a little bit. the corporal was trying to restrain me. i m with the other lawman trying to get him off my cellie, my home boy, blood everywhere. officers inside the housing unit security control room witnessed the fight and alerted the special emergency response team organization or sert. the sert team arrived, they secured inmate hidalgo. they came and dropped their knee on me, boom, split my chin, which caused me to take stitches. blood s coming out. so i m laying in my blood. so when i get up and come out, one of my other home boys seen it. as hidalgo and guerrero were escorted by the
big time orejone. just when officers think they have the situation under control, gonzalez manages to slip his hands out from behind him. he s got restrained in front. the sert team decides that it s time to deploy the restraint chair, which is designed to temporarily immobilize inmates who pose threats or refuse to follow orders. roll over on your stomach on the mattress. roll over on your mattress on your chest. comply. you got it? as the sert team enters the cell, gonzalez launches a verbal assault. you take the head. you re going to see, dog. mark my words [ bleep ] [ bleep ] mark my words [ bleep ]. in other words he got a hit on everybody. [ bleep ].
it messes with your head, you know what i mean? i just couldn t take it anymore. within minutes two other inmates add to the flooding. they re utilizing their uniforms, whatever material they can find by stuffing it down the toilet drain and continuously flushing the toilets and causing it to overflow just to be belligerent and disruptive. gonzalez s friend and fellow orejones, jose hidalgo, says he is not impressed by his actions and that such behavior is now looked down upon by the gang. and they know we don t [ bleep ] do that no more. they know we don t do that. what are you doing? the special emergency response team, or sert, is mobilized to restrain the troublemakers. the sert team was called in due to the flooding. it came into the office and triggered the alarm, which the
he was a day late for the party. there was four laws down there. a sergeant, a lieutenant, corporal and regular officer. and he started to get real nervous, because, you know, he had no backup, he s over there with a weapon in a secured facility. with gonzalez already outnumbered four to one, members of the sert team escorting hidalgo and guerrero are called back to assist. go, go, go. i m not stupid, you know, they laid it down real quick, threw the shank away from me. i just chilled out real quick. he threw the knife on the ground, not at the officer. it was very clearly, you know, gently thrown to the ground and then he laid down on the floor and we secured him. luckily nobody was hurt in the process. what does scare us is that he did have that shank, and what that scares us is what would have happened if he was close enough to use it before an officer would have saw it. you know, it could have just as easily as gone bad as it did go good.
