Nogales Police Department officers arrested two adults, Stephanie Andrade, age 22, of Rio Rico; Ricardo Rivera, age 23, of Tucson on Saturday for threatening a group of Trump supporters. A 16-year-old female from Rio Rico; and a 14-year-old male from Rio Rico were also arrested in connection with the incident.
The Trump supporters were taking part in a number of events organized to show support for President Trump in Santa Cruz County.
According to the Nogales Police Department (NPD), officers responded to the 200 block of Mariposa Road shortly after noon on Saturday in response to a report about a group of people who were not wearing masks. Once on the scene, officers determined that people were part of a group of Trump supporters who had just been threatened by “a man in a black sedan who was showing a handgun towards them.”
Officers found the vehicle and the man in a parking lot with the other Andrade and the juveniles. The females intervened when the officers tried to arrest the males. Eventually, all were placed into custody.
Charges include Aggravated Assault on Peace Officer, Criminal Damage, Disorderly Conduct, Threatening and Intimidation, Endangerment and Recklessly Displaying a Deadly Weapon.
I believe police need to take out those who promote political violence and make examples as a deterrent, but that’s just me. You never stop this stuff by allowing it to go on.
Been to Nogales.
Hope I never have to go there again.
