Injunction

Veteran member the first to opt out of Trece gang, injunction

OGDEN — A veteran member of the Ogden Trece street gang has become the first to successfully opt out of the gang and the injunction that bans Treces from acting out in public.

The injunction, in effect since September 2010, bans members of the roughly 300-plus-member gang from associating in public and even being in the presence of guns, drugs and alcohol.

Police say James Jerry Moncada caused this damage while fleeing police Thursday in Ogden. An officer believed he recognized the driver of an SUV and attempted to pull over the vehicle. However, the driver did not stop and drove south down an alley that runs from 28th Street to 29th Street, between Brinker Avenue and Harrison Boulevard. The SUV smashed through a fence about halfway down the alley, drove through the southeast corner of a backyard, smashed through a second wooden fence and wound up in the backyard of a home that is south of the first. The SUV came to a stop right up against the back of a brick house at 2850 Brinker Ave. (MICHAEL McFALL/Standard-Examiner)
