MARIJUANA SUSPECTS CHARGED WITH SHOOTING AT LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Acting United States Attorney Lawrence G. Brown announced today that JOSE ALFREDO ZEPEDA, 19, of East Palo Alto, and CLEMENTE FERRIAS ARROYO, 62, of Morgan Hill, made their initial appearance today in court on an indictment charging them with a conspiracy to manufacture at least 1,000 marijuana plants, the manufacture of at least 1,000 marijuana plants, and possession of firearms and discharge of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking crimes.
This case is the result of an investigation by the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Lassen County Sheriff's Department, and the Susanville Police Department.
Officers from these agencies were investigating a large outdoor marijuana garden on federal land and encountered three suspected marijuana growers. Suspect Juan Carlos Herrera-Chavez engaged the officers in a gun battle with an AK-47 rifle, wounded the two Lassen County Sheriff's officers, and was later killed by the officers' return gunfire. The two other suspects, ZEPEDA and ARROYO, were arrested after the gun battle. Fortunately, both Lassen County Sheriff's officers are expected to survive their wounds.
Suddenly, it HAS and you face a serious
charge or criminal investigation!
This is not about money, this is about
your life and future!

MYTH : INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE ACQUITTED
AND GUILTY ARE CONVICTED
This is just not so. Unfortunately, the
American criminal justice system as we've
seen in the United States District Courts
across this land is far too inundated with
cases to separate the guilty from those who
are innocent or who cannot be proven
guilty. The system only separates those who
have savvy, experienced criminal defense
lawyers from those who don't! CLICK TO LEARN

MYTH : ALL CRIMINAL DEFENSE
LAWYERS ARE BASICALLY EQUAL
Most people believe that criminal defense
lawyers with some 20 years or so of
criminal law experience are probably about
equal and the lowest cost should be the
main concern. This is NOT TRUE. Many were
prosecutors for the first 5-15 years of
their "criminal law experience"! CLICK TO LEARN

MYTH : HIGH FEE = GOOD
RESULTS
Never confuse the payment of a large fee
with a guarantee of a quality criminal
defense. CLICK TO LEARN

MYTH : FORMER FEDERAL
PROSECUTORS MAKE BETTER FEDERAL CRIMINAL
DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
That simply is a myth. Past experience
as a federal prosecutor may or may not
equate to success. Some former prosecutors
just changed hats, not their hearts. They
still believe defendants should become
"snitches." CLICK TO LEARN

MYTH : "I'VE BEEN INDICTED BY
THE GOVERNMENT, WHY WASTE MONEY ON A
CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER?"
Assuming your case is a dead bang loser,
even then an experienced federal criminal
defense attorney can greatly help! Well,
the United States Sentencing Guidelines are
one good reason. Every United States
District Court in the country uses these
guidelines for sentencing purposes and if
you get nothing else from this web site,
aside from the fact that the only justice
you're ever going to get is the justice
your criminal defense lawyer gets for you,
you will come out ahead. CLICK TO LEARN
