Vallejos Super 8 Motel is a “hub” for criminal transactions, in which some allegedly planned to rival gangs to rival gangs, say the Feds, say the Feds

Vallejo fifth people were accused of participating in an illegal arms trade, the members of which are said to have planned to use violent gang rivalry by selling weapons on both sides on both sides, as court files.

The group made a super 8 motel in the Solano Avenue in Vallejo in its headquarters for illegal activities and supposedly meets potential buyers there for weapons transactions worth thousands of dollars. Federal prosecutors who want to announce the bust on Thursday afternoon say that the motel was also a hotspot for drug trafficking and violent crimes.

In the bust, Zuuryess Roberts, Taezon Sanderson, Divaya Talley, Anderson Thurston and Napoleon Washington are accused of all of which are illegally transferred to others because of the possession of weapons as criminals, or in both cases or court files show how court files show. The office for alcohol, tobacco, firearms and ammunition or ATF led the investigation, in which a confidential informant carried out weapon sales with members of the group.

In such a case, the informant bought a machine gun of 1,700 US dollars from Talley last September, the complaint said. A week later, the informant supposedly bought a pistol from Roberts and Sanderson for $ 900. These are just examples from a 62-page complaint that lists numerous alleged weapons transactions that are tens of thousands of dollars and more than a dozen weapons.

In a conversation, the informant supposedly discussed plans to newly sell weapons with Norteño and Sureño gangs with Roberts and Thurston. Thurston supposedly replied as long as buyers “were not a police and the money was green, it was good,” the complaint said. The authorities describe the informant as a convicted robber who was used in other federal investigations and in this case was paid for their work.

Coincidentally, the federal prosecutor also submitted a gun possession against a man who was arrested in the same motel last December. The accused, Jeffrey Caldwell, allegedly has scissors in people in the Hotel Schwang and announced that he “took over”. The police put a K9 to him and arrested him, then found a large hole in the wall of the bathroom in the room, where he had lived for a few days, the complaint said.

In the hole, the police found “Bear spray, sex toys and clothes” and finally a privately produced firearm, the complaint said.
