Man Jailed after Going Near Carson City Gang
Twenty-two year old Miguele Rubio, who was court-ordered to stay away from gangs, was taken into custody last week when law enforcement allegedly observed him near Carson City’s Lima Street Gang. Rubio is now in a Douglas County Jail awaiting his next court date.
Rubio was originally arrested in March along with Andrew Tagay, a gang member, for allegedly mugging two teens. He pled guilty to robbery in Nevada and was given a suspended sentence on the condition that he avoid all gang crimes in Nevada, including being near any gang members.
Gang crimes in Nevada are penalized harshly by the state courts, enhancing an underlying criminal sentence by one to twenty years.
