Siskiyou Daily News
The story of Sundance Angel Gonzalez of Weed is one of redemption, second chances, and turning one s life around. It is an ongoing story, but one with a bright ray of light after much darkness that could have sent the 26-year-old spiraling further down the wrong path. Instead, Sundance – known as Sonny – owned up to his mistakes and went to work to become a better human being.
When he was 18, Gonzalez was involved in a armed burglary in Mount Shasta along with two others. For his crimes, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison. But due to exemplary behavior, in a rare decision on April 20, Gonzalez was granted early release with the full support of the Siskiyou County District Attorney’s Office. The decision came after a glowing recommendation by the State of California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
