Christmas reunion ends in arrest in Santa Barbara
Charles Gordon, a young white man, was jailed in Bexar county after waiving a preliminary hearing on robbery by assault with firearms charges. He had planned to return home for Christmas to his sick wife and two-year-old child in Santa Barbara, California, but was arrested near Castroville road after a holdup. Gordon claimed he intended to take his medicine and asked to be tried to seek leniency. Deputy Sheriff Alphonse Newton Jr. relayed Gordon’s account of walking and hitchhiking home, and noted the request for a lighter sentence if his story held true.
