The unofficial “Santa Ana Welcoming Committee” appeared in court on Friday “after being arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and carjacking a man at gunpoint who was washing his car Wednesday, police say,” according to the O.C. Register.
Here is the rest of the Register’s article:
Pablo Moctezuma, 34, and Nicanor Gonzalez, 22, both of Santa Ana, are accused of going up to a 55-year-old man who was washing his car at a car wash at 17th and Euclid streets and forcing him into his car at gunpoint, said Santa Ana police Cmdr. Stephen Colon.
About 4:15 p.m. a motorcycle officer spotted a 1991 Honda speeding on the 2700 block of W. 5th Street, Colon said. When the officer attempted to pull over the Honda, it failed to stop and a short pursuit ensued.
When the Honda stopped at 100 N. Jackson Street, Moctezuma and Gonzalez jumped out of the car and ran. Moctezuma, who was the driver, was quickly arrested and Gonzalez was arrested about 30 minutes later at 3400 W. 5th Street, Colon said.
As officers checked the Honda, they discovered the 55-year-old man, of Lake Forest, in the back seat, along with a hand gun used in the crime, Colon said.
“One suspect drove while the other held the man at gunpoint,” Colon said.
The man was held hostage for about 15 minutes.
Memo to our friends from south Orange County – when you are in Pulido country, you better watch out! Didn’t Santa Ana Councilwoman Claudia Alvarez recently say, at a Council meeting, that there is no crime in Santa Ana? Maybe she needs a drug test?
Don’t the police have better things to do other than look for car jackers? I think we have more serious crime in S.A. to worry about.
If a crime happens in Santa Ana but the Police never show up to take a report, did that crime ever happen?
Paul told me that crime in Santa Ana has risen to levels that are uncontrollable.

Pablo Moctezuma and Nicanor Gonzalez, both of Santa Ana?….. it looks like the white US Citizens are committing all the crimes here in SA again.
This wasn’t a crime. This was nothing more than a couple of guys messing around having some fun.
Didn’t Sheriff, i mean, Chief Walters recently state at a city council meeting that most of the graffitti in the city is done by kids just having fun?
The only bad guy in Santa Ana is none other than Art Pedroza.
I blame this all on kids playing too many video games. They should be outlawed in Santa Ana. Our youth cannot handle them.
I would encourage all of you to go down to City Hall tonight and express your outrage about the City
I dare you to find this out and post the results – are these two setllar citizens in this country legally, or are they undocumented and are here because they snuck accross the border? And, yes it does matter —-
Speaking of crime, why hasn’t anyone on Orange Juice said anything about Carlos Eduardo Tello, a 53 year old Guatamalan immigrant who was convicted of continuous child molestation and jumped off of the Santa Ana Courthouse building to his death? That seems like a pretty big story. Does OJ have anything to say?
