A District-Wide Grand Jury for the 11th Judicial District on Sept. 19 indicted 10 inmates for actively participating in a prison riot and disobeying orders to stop on May 16, 2022, at Centennial Correctional Facility.
Those listed on the indictment are Tayone Givens, 27, Antonio Reddell, 34, Jarrett Bragg, 24, Kyle Garcia, 25, Drake Phillips, 33, Amado Diaz, 35, Juan Moreno, 32, Xavier Rubalcaba-Lopez, 38, Daniel Martinez, 33, and Marcus Alire, 36.
The indictment was signed on Sept. 25 by Patrick Murphy, the presiding judge, and Deputy District Attorney David Little.
According to the indictment, the inmates "took part in violent conduct against other persons within K Unit of that facility. Six inmates were injured as a result of that violent conduct."
Several of those injuries included lacerations and abrasions, as well as swelling and bruising.
"The performance of institutional functions was substantially obstructed due to the entire facility being placed on lockdown for two hours, a substantial portion being locked down for approximately eight hours, and K Unit being locked down for 24 hours," the indictment states.
These closures resulted in a loss of approximately 6,628 of recreation and programming hours among inmates as well as 39 total staff responding to the incident and 87 hours of overtime for staff to respond to, take control of, and process evidence and information from the incident.
Givens, Reddell, Bragg, Garcia, Diaz, Moreno, Rubalcaba-Lopez, Martinez and Alire each were indicted on one count of riots in detention facilities - active participant, an unclassified felony, and one count of riots in detention facilities - disobeying order, a Class 5 felony.
Phillips was indicted on riots in detention facilities - active participant, an unclassified felony; riots in detention facilities - active part - employing deadly weapon or destructive device, a Class 3 felony; riots in detention facilities - disobey order, a Class 5 felony; and first-degree possession on contraband - dangerous weapon, a Class 4 felony.
During the incident, Phillips possessed and used a homemade weapon in the form of a sharpened piece of metal wrapped in cloth and attached to a lanyard, the indictment states. The metal in the weapon was sharpened in such a way that was capable of causing lacerations and puncturing the body several inches. The cloth handle and lanyard tied to the metal enabled the weapon to be used with greater strength and control without losing grip on the weapon.
The offenders are slated to appear in Fremont County District Court at varying dates and times.
