Gangs

OGDEN — A convicted Trece gang member has filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court, challenging his prosecution and the constitutionality of Ogden’s Trece gang injunction.

OGDEN — A SWAT incident ended with the arrest of several people Tuesday afternoon.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The black tattoo that once wrapped Cris Pulido's throat now looks like a smear of grease.

One year ago it was the Mayan symbol for the number 13, which in gang-speak signifies the 13th letter of the alphabet, M. M is code for Mexican Mafia, which is another code for Sureno, which is what Pulido used to be.

"I remember the excitement I saw in other people's eyes when they looked at it," Pulido said. "It was like they were thinking, 'Man, that's so cool,' " when in reality, they were probably thinking the opposite."

SALT LAKE CITY — The FBI has amended a report that mistakenly identified Salt Lake County as among the top 10 worst in the country for gang activity.

OGDEN -- He still has a dent in his face from his March encounter with a drunken gangster swinging a hammer. And the dent almost caught a bullet in June when Travis Copier was part of a SWAT team breaking up a hostage situation.

In both cases, Copier is the listed victim for charges of first-degree felony attempted murder.
