I am not surprised to hear that he is a gang member given his arrest history. It seems there are two kinds of gang members in this area. There are those small-time thugs who are part of some local, loosely organized gang of miscreants. And there are those who are involved with serious criminal syndicates. Recently, there was a story about a guy living here who is wanted for something like genocidal killings in Central or South America. I have heard of gang members who are part of statewide or national networks, too. If she went into hiding, then he may be involved in the latter.
