Are Gilbert Goons arrested? The arrests are due to the violent behavior of the “Gilbert Goons”.
Is Gilbert Goons in Arrest?
In connection with a shocking assault and robbery that occurred in Gilbert a year earlier, arrests were made. The Gilbert Police released a press statement on January 9, announcing that 18-year old Christopher Fantastic had been arrested for his involvement in the incident, which occurred on August 18, 2023 near Williams Field Road and Market Street. Two other people, both aged 18, Aris Arredondo and two 16-year-olds were arrested along with Fantastic. This shows the severity of the crimes committed.
The arrests are a major step in addressing the security concerns within the Gilbert community and send a clear message that police will take swift and decisive action against criminal activity. Gilbert Police’s commitment to pursuing justice in this case is evident from the ongoing investigation. The ongoing investigation in Queen Creek regarding the death of Preston Lord is separate from this case. This emphasizes the broad approach taken by authorities to deal with different incidents within the area.
Gilbert Goons – Who is he?
The term “Gilbert Goons”, which has been used in conjunction with several shocking incidents of teenage violent crime in Gilbert, has gained the attention of law enforcement officials as well as the public. The Town Council of Gilbert created the Teen Violence Subcommittee, which coincided with the arrest of Christopher Fantastic (18), a man allegedly involved in an assault and robbery. Gilbert’s police chief Michael Soelberg revealed that nine investigations are underway relating to violence between teens, and five incidents have not been reported to the police.
Gilbert Police initially did not link the Aug. 18 incident with the “Gilbert Goons,” but recent developments show that they are increasingly focused on those who claim affiliation to this group. Arizona Gang & Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission is working together with GITEM in order to examine all those connected or claiming affiliation with the “Gilbert Goons” group.
Searching for Gilbert Goons
Recent developments in the investigation of attacks by the group called “Gilbert Goons”, have led to more arrests, and shed light on unchecked violent behavior. The Arizona Republic reported on December that three adults and 2 juveniles were arrested by the Pinal Sheriff’s office in the County, along with Gilbert Police. They had been involved in assaults against high school students. The police and prosecutor have confirmed that the arrests are just the beginning, and there is a possibility of additional people being charged for involvement in gang-related beatings.
The arrests were part of a series of violent acts committed by affluent teenagers who have been involved in violent crimes for over a year. The arrests are a positive step, but parents, children and leaders in the community still worry that the Goons may have been involved in the death of 16-year-old Preston Lord. As authorities try to discover the Goons’ connections, there are still questions regarding the nature of their crimes, and potential ramifications in Arizona law. This highlights the complexity and need of the ongoing investigation.
