IN THE

3RD DISTRICT COURT - SALT LAKE

COUNTY OF SALT LAKE, STATE OF UTAH

State of Utah

vs.
Affidavit of Probable Cause
ARIAN HUERTA
Date of Birth: 11/14/1998
Arrestee

On 01/16/2019 11:59 the defendant was arrested for the offense(s) of:

Offense Date Offense Description Statute Gov Code Severity DV

1 01/13/2019 RIOT - BODILY INJURY/PROPERTY 76-9-101(3) UT F3 No
DAMAGE/ARSON/DANGEROUS WEAPON
2 01/16/2019 FAILURE TO STOP AT COMMAND OF A LAW 73-18-20(3) UT MA No
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
3 01/16/2019 FAILURE TO STOP AT COMMAND OF A LAW 73-18-20(3) UT MA No
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER

I believe there is probable cause to charge the defendant with these charges because:
ON 01/13/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 1330 HOURS AT THE FASHION PLACE MALL LOCATED AT 6191 S STATE ST
MURRAY, UT, THE DEFENDANT, ARIAN HUERTA, ENGAGED IN ACTIVITY WITH FELLOW 'FLORENCIA 13' GANG
MEMBERS BY CONFRONTING MEMBERS OF A RIVAL GANG. ALL PARTIES AGREED TO GO OUTSIDE AND CONTINUE
THE CONFRONTATION WHEN ONE MEMBER FROM EACH GANG PULLED OUT FIREARMS AND EXCHANGE GUNFIRE
DURING BUSINESS HOURS. THIS INCIDENT RESULTED IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY TO TWO PERSONS. ON
01/16/2019 DURING A TRAFFIC STOP, HUERTA FLED FROM A VEHICLE FROM THE POLICE AND GOT PICKED UP
AND TAKEN TO A HOUSE. WHEN THE POLICE SURROUND THE HOUSE SHORTLY AFTER, HUERTA AGAIN TRIED TO
RUN FROM THE POLICE OUT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE. POST MIRANDA, HUERTA ADMITTED HE KNEW THE
POLICE WERE AFTER HIM AND WAS TRYING TO AVOID AN ARREST.

I believe these to be additional condition(s) for continued detention:

The person would constitute a substantial danger to any other person or to the community, or is likely to flee the
jurisdiction of the court
ARIAN HUERTA IS A KNOWN GANG MEMBER OF THE FLORENCIA 13 SURENO GANG WHICH DIRECTLY ENGAGED
IN ACTIVITY THAT RESULTED IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND MASS PUBLIC ALARM.
