Photo on social networking site leads to arrest

Category: Social Networking

An 18-year-old American Canyon man was arrested Saturday morning after an officer viewed photos of him on a social networking site in which he allegedly displayed gang signs.

While looking through a social networking website, an officer with the American Canyon Police Department allegedly saw images of Ricardo Gonzalez Almazan, a known gang member, making gang symbols with his hands, police said.

Two other known gang members were also in the photo and one had recently been released from juvenile hall, indicating the photo was taken in the last two months, police said.

The officer contacted Almazan on Saturday morning at his home in the 200 block of Tapestry Lane and arrested him on suspicion of violating probation and participating in a street gang, police said. The other two people shown in the photo were not at the home and were not arrested.

Almazan was booked into the Napa jail.
