Man sentenced 16 months for making threat to Rod Pacheco

The PE reports that Chandler Cardwell of Perris was sentenced to 16 months in state prison for publishing the following in the PE:

"Cardwell placed an ad in the paper calling for a yard sale at Pacheco's home to support the "Rod Pacheco Memorial Fund." The ad included Pacheco's home address and cell phone number. It also read, "Big Blowout going out of business sale" and "everything must go."

Cardwell, who worked as a commercial classified advertising representative at the time, said he searched newspaper records to obtain Pacheco's information, court records said.

He called the paper and gave false check information to pay for the ad using check No. 0187, the California penal code number for murder."

Apparently Cardwell did this because he was upset at Pacheco's plans to have the East Side Riva gang declared a public nuisance.
