GSU Gets Big Gun From PIV
posted (January 20, 2014)
The Gang Suppression Unit has been keeping the pressure on the PIV Gang - and that has resulted in the discovery of a loaded, high powered handgun. At 10:45 on Friday night, the GSU intercepted this Ford F-150 pickup with no license plates. 34 year old Richard Smith was driving and his passengers were 19 year old Jihadul GILL, 29 year old Everal GRAY, and 18 year old's Delbert ALVAREZ, Alrick LAMB and Arthur HILL.

Inside the truck, the GSU found 1 Para brand .45 pistol loaded with an extended magazine containing (7) seven live .45 rounds; one of which was already loaded in the chamber. A 45 is prohibited, meaning you can't even get a license for it and so all 6 were charged for Kept Prohibited Firearm, Kept Prohibited Ammunition and Kept Prohibited Magazine.

They were arraigned today before Magistrate Dale Cayetano where Alrick Lamb accepted guilt for the weapon. For his guilty plea, he was sentenced to serve a total of 5 years in prison, but the other 5 men couldn't be set free. Even though attorney Bryan Neal interceded on their behalf, the charges were not withdrawn because, as the prosecutor told the court, the directive has to come from the DPP. They were all remanded to prison until March 17, their next court date.
