Do the criminal's friends or family ever think before they talk?


A man shot and killed after a scuffle with police in Roy moved to Utah years ago to turn his life around, according to a friend.

ya...

except the lifelong criminal and gangbanger had a gun.... :roll:

Officers shot Sanchez after he pulled out a handgun and pointed it at police, Perry said. He was transported to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.

Police said in a statement that Sanchez had an “excessive criminal history” in California and Utah and was recently terminated from federal probation.

Sanchez was an ex-gang member, but left that life behind when he moved to Utah years ago, said Annette Olsen of Layton.

“He’s a good kid. A really good kid,” Olsen said. “He had a really good heart. He loved everybody.”

Sanchez met Olsen in 2008 while working with a construction crew on a remodel of her home. After construction jobs dried up following the recession, she offered him a job working at her dog kenneling business.

exccept he had a gun,, oops several guns :roll: :? :???: :shock:

In August 2010, police obtained a search warrant for Sanchez’s Clearfield home and found several guns. Police also searched a storage unit at a business property owned by Olsen and found several other firearms.

Sanchez admitted the firearms were his, according to court records, and that he knew he shouldn’t have any because of his felony history in California. Sanchez pleaded guilty in federal court to possession of three handguns, five rifles, one shotgun and around 1,600 rounds ammunition on July 22, 2011. One charge of marijuana possession was dismissed.

Sanchez was sentenced to five years in federal prison and three years probation. Olsen helped Sanchez hire a lawyer for the case. She also submitted a letter to the court testifying about Sanchez’s good character. The letter noted Olsen and Sanchez had been working to educate students about staying out of gangs.

“What frustrates me is he was in possession of firearms. He wouldn’t have hurt anyone, he liked to go target shooting,” she said. “I can see if he were robbing someone and he had a gun, but he just had (guns) in his house.”

After serving his prison term, Sanchez lived in a halfway house and worked for Olsen at her dog business. He later moved into Olsen’s home.

maybe they should THINK about what they just said, before they say it?

“He was starting to finally make a good life for himself,” she said. “He was working really, really hard for that. He had a couple of slip-ups here and there.”

a couple? like anther gun in his waist band.. yep, that is a slip up... like harassing a store owner enough the guy called the police,.. who incidentally found a gun hanging out the gangbanger's waist.



Oh did I mention,.. he should not even had been here to begin with?
39 year old Nicolas Sanchez was born in Mexico and came to the United States illegally. He recently robbed a convenience store while toting a firearm. However, he showed the firearm accidently when he kept pulling his arms up to shrug saying,

“I don’t have nothing.”

maybe that worked in the past..
Sanchez did have an extensive criminal history, which included charges of assault, battery, robbery, drug possession, possession of stolen property, gang activity, weapons violations, controlled substance violations, parole violations, DUI, unlawful discharge of a weapon at a person from a car, and attempted murder.

I am sure he would have been safer in California as they want to protect criminals like him.. :roll:
