PHOENIX — Deleon Haynes, the first adult sentenced in connection with the recent wave of East Valley youth violence, was arrested again by Gilbert Police on Friday for his part in two criminal investigations.
Haynes, 19, was sentenced to three years supervised probation June 3 for his part in a group assault at a Gilbert In-N-Out Burger last August. A Maricopa County Superior Court spokesperson told KTAR News 92.3 FM the Adult Probation Department was filing a petition to revoke Haynes’ probation following the new allegations.
Gilbert police said Haynes illegally entered a home on June 12 that he was previously kicked out of two weeks earlier. When inside the home, he allegedly got into an argument with a minor in the home who he was previously in a relationship with.
In a separate incident on Friday, a minor told Gilbert police Haynes had allegedly threatened them and a family member. Case records show the threats were made virtually.
