Multiple Felony Charges for 18+ Teens Looking to “Score Weed”
Three teens 18+ in age who were attempting to “score weed” are now facing multiple felony charges for kidnapping and robbing a 17 year old minor in Magna, Utah earlier this month.
Looking for Marijuana
18 year old David Saul Gonzalez-Reyes, 19 year old Eduardo Flores-Loeza, and 19 year old Alisha Jimenez were arrested last week after they met a 17 year old female in a grocery store parking lot who was there to sell marijuana. After they entered the minor’s vehicle, one of the teens struck the minor in the face with a handgun and forced her to drive to a nearby residence where they continued their crime spree by physically assaulting and robbing two individuals at that house.
Multiple Felony Charges = Possible Life in Prison
The trio of older teens was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail with each facing:
• Aggravated assault, a third degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison;
• Aggravated burglary, a first degree felony that carries a possible prison term of five years to life;
• Aggravated robbery, a first degree felony that may add on another five years to life;
• Aggravated kidnapping, another first degree felony punishable by what Utah code 76-5-302 states to be “not less than 15 years and which may be for life”.
Although all teens are facing the same multiple felony charges, it is not clear what role each played in the alleged kidnapping, assault, and robbery. It is also not known whether or not the teens knew the minor or the individuals who were at the home prior to the scheduled drug deal. If convicted of the multiple felony charges, the teens who are barely old enough to vote could spend the rest of their lives in jail because they wanted to get high.
