Jonathan Nelson and Mark Anthony Guardado are facing criminal felony charges that allege they acted in participation with a criminal street gang.

Jonathan Nelson from Healdsburg and Mark Anthony Guardado from San Francisco or San Jose, are facing criminal felony charges that allege they acted in participation with a criminal street gang. If proven this will ultimately add time to their sentencing if they are convicted of the crimes. In the evidence the police were seeking in the raid included information that the two men charged hold high ranking positions within the Hells Angels organization and probably have high quality attorney representation.Both men have been charged with allegedly jumping a man and beating him severely even after he had lost consciousness according to Capt. Sears. This incident occurred in February in the vicinity of McNear´s Saloon & Dinning House in the Petaluma area. Both men were again charged with allegedly beating the victim in March in the vicinity of Henny Penny Restaurant located on Petaluma Boulevard. Both Nelson and Guardado have pleaded not guilty to both allegations according to records from the court. Each of the two have also filed five million dollar lawsuits against Sonoma County after Superior Judge Ken Gnoss expelled them from the courtroom because of shirts they were wearing that had the Hells Angels insignia on them. Judge Gnoss stated that the shirt insignias are intended to intimidate and threaten others. During the San Francisco search by two FBI tactical teams Guardado was arrested for alleged drug possession according to statements by Capt. Sears. Lately there has been a lot of high profile criminal news coming from San Francisco, San Jose and the surrounding area. For instance, a parolee recently pleaded Guilty to killing his instructor in Oakland. Troy Tyrone Thomas(that is touph sounding name for sure) is scheduled to be sentenced on September 5th to life without the possibility of parole in a deal in which prosecutors will not seek the death penalty in the death of College teacher John Dennis. He had a good San Jose Criminal AttorneyThomas, who by the way was on parole at the time of the killing, has an extensive criminal history and was released from prison prior to the murder for felony auto theft and possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. He has also been convicted of murder in 1981 and several vehicle thefts.
