Two men are in custody at San Joaquin County jail after allegedly having a gun in a Lodi bar. Mario Estevan Mercado, 30, and Mario Alberto Medina Munguia Jr., 24, are being held in San Joaquin County jail after being apprehended by the Lodi Police Department early Saturday morning on the 100 block of West Turner Road, police said.
Officers responded to the area around 1:50 a.m. Saturday after receiving a call about a man in a bar with a gun in his waistband, said Sgt. Doug Chinn of the Lodi Police Department. Both subjects left the scene before police arrived. However, they were found near the bar and were apprehended at gunpoint by officers, Chinn said.

Mercado later claimed he was holding the gun for Munguia, Chinn said. I'm pretty sure Mercado blew any defense they could have had. I bet they were born here though, parents probably Love Ronald Regan as well. I'm not saying they are any better then the illegal gangsters but they are a hell of lot easier to keep track of.

Oh yeah, I forgot. We will have to support him AFTER he is found guilty and I will bet my favorite pair of sneakers that will happen.

Mr. Baxter, they haven't been found guilty yet.

Oh no, not another incident of LPD picking on poor hispanics just trying to make a better life in America. Now we have to support this POS in prison.
