The gang allegedly plotted to rob a Union City drug dealer, but the FBI stepped in and raided the home before they could do anything, prosecutors say.
SAN JOSE — A San Jose man has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for his involvement in a plot to rob a drug dealer in Union City, one that authorities say was thwarted thanks to a massive wiretap operation.
Prosecutors contend that Leonis is a “sixth generation” member of a Norteño subset based in San Jose, but his attorney denied this and says that Leonis is at most an “associate” of a few young men who are gang members. But Leonis’ lawyer said the term “86” was not a reference to a violent act, but actually to ostracizing the alleged snitch from social gatherings. Leonis works in the restaurant industry where the term “86” is used often to refer to banning someone from an establishment, his lawyer added.
