The January 10, 2024, edition of the L.A. Times provided an update on charges faced by the so-called “Justice 8,” including auditor David “Riverside County Accountability” Chavez.
According to the Times, Chavez was apparently one of seven defendants whose charges of vandalism and using tear gas were dropped at the hearing on January 10.
All the defendants are still facing charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, conspiracy, and assault with a deadly weapon stemming from two protests in September of 2023.
The group has been held without bail since mid-December after an investigation by multiple police agencies led to early morning raids to bring in the group.
Reasoning for the lack of bail may come as police consider members of the group a threat to the public. Group leader Edin Alex Enamorado has a reputation for organizing massive protests at the homes of those who have harassed or attacked street vendors across California.
According to an ABC 7 report, the group will be back in court next week.
