Trujillo Faces Multiple Violent Crime Allegations in Court
Court documents portray Joe Trujillo as a habitual offender with at least three prior violent convictions. He admits eight arrests, including aggravated battery and battery in 1996 and 1988 cases involving breaking and entering, false imprisonment, and property damage. A current case alleges criminal sexual penetration and false imprisonment, with future grand jury additions expected. A 41 year old woman testified he assaulted her, yet defense cites lack of medical evidence of forced sex and questions living arrangements at his home.
