Three men the Sheriff s Office identified as gang members are awaiting trial after a short chase ended with four weapons confiscated by officers, the Sheriff s Office said.
The Sheriff s Office s gang unit spotted them in a Cleveland Road apartment complex and knew they didn t belong there, Sheriff s Office Director Mike Bruno said, calling it an example of community engagement stopping a possible threat. Officer J. Garriga is keenly aware of these individuals coming into a neighborhood to prey on the citizens there, Bruno said. He recognizes something is wrong with this picture. It s gang members who are really outside of their territory. I am not really sure what they intended to do. They are not forthcoming.
