INDIANAPOLIS — The Marion County Prosecutor announced charges against nine people Wednesday after weekend street takeovers in Indianapolis.

The below list shows those charged for their roles in the weekend street events that had individuals lighting intersections on fire and damaging IMPD and State Police patrol vehicles.

Itzel Aguirre: Criminal Recklessness (Class A Misdemeanor) and No Valid Driver’s License (Class C Infraction)
Angel Gonzalez: Dangerous Possession of a Firearm (Level 5 Felony)
Osmar Salgado: Resisting Law Enforcement (Level 6 Felony)
Ryan Weigel: Criminal Mischief (Class A Misdemeanor)
Trevor Rivas: Criminal Mischief (Class A Misdemeanor)
Sergio Melendez: Intimidation (Level Felony) and Criminal Mischief (Class A Misdemeanor)
David Balleza: Resisting Law Enforcement (Level 6 Felony) and Reckless Driving (Class C Misdemeanor)
Eyby Serrano-Rodriguez: Resisting Law Enforcement (Class A Misdemeanor)
Roberto Shitt: Resisting Law Enforcement (Level 6 Felony) and Reckless Driving (Class C Misdemeanor)
“The recent street takeovers not only place the public in unnecessary danger but those participating in these events,” Prosecutor Mears. “Law enforcement is working to keep our city safe and the actions toward them are simply unacceptable. We will continue to take these cases seriously and pursue criminal consequences for those involved in these types of events.”
IMPD police chief Chris Bailey addressed the actions over the weekend on Monday saying, "Going forward, the actions we saw this weekend against our officers and state troopers is unacceptable, plain and simple," Bailey said. "Our officers responded to calls of street takeovers and spinning, and in doing so, were met with violence. Their physical safety was put at risk, and their vehicles were attacked and damaged. I want to recognize that officers and troopers who, in my opinion, showed great restraint, even as their lives were put at risk."

One of the people involved in the street takeovers spoke with WRTV anonymously saying there are no plans to stop these events.

"We all agreed we are not backing down from IMPD this weekend and next weekend and the weekend after that. We just go location to location. They keep showing up we will keep retaliating," said the masked spinner. "IMPD shouldn't be outside if we are. If they stop showing up, we are not causing no harm. Yes, we started fires, but nothing else caught on fire. We started fire circles. If IMPD wants to keep showing up, we will keep retaliating. They might as well give us a legal pit."

How about "You behave, or we'll throw yer ass in jail!"

Buncha nice Irish names right there…

Roberto Shitt

Man, what a crappy name.

Arrest them an impound their cars. Keep doing it. Get a young office to monitor social media. Find out the locations. Set the trap.

Probably nothing to do with Mexican Independence Day… nothing at all…

Chicago has been dealing with this behavior for a while now. Detroit, a bunch of places in California, Florida, New York as well.
I can’t remember where, but some Sheriff is confiscating the cars after they impound them. Then he crushes them!

These little assholes have gotten way out of control!

I remember when Jimmy Mauer once told us that the way to really hurt these idiots was through their pocket book and by TAKING THEIR CARS.

In Baltimore back in the 60's, down in Little Italy, there was another method...

Forget this jail business, 16 weekends of community service,
House arrest between 10m and 6 p.m.
$190.00 fine.
90 hours anger management.

How about 90 days turning big rocks into little rocks?

Except for that guy Shitt, maybe.

If you inadvertently turn onto a street where this is going on and find yourself in the middle of it, what are your legal options that won't get you in more trouble than they will? Seems to me, if they don't let you leave and/or threaten violence, that would be at least false imprisonment. Is shooting justified?

Immediately call 9-1-1 and report that you've been surrounded - get it on record! Let them know you're trying to escape.

Anti hooning laws need to be as severe as they are in Australia.
