Hells Angels member arrested for entering jail grounds
STORY TOOLS 
More from Local NewsThe purported president of the Hells Angels Ventura chapter and convicted felon Sabian Reynoso was arrested Wednesday for allegedly entering Ventura County Jail grounds without permission from jail officials, authorities said.
Reynoso went into the jail on Feb. 6 to deposit money in the account of fellow gang member Jared Plomell, according to a statement from the Sheriff's Department.
Under California law, a convicted felon may not enter any jail or prison without permission from jail officials or the warden.
Plomell, 30, is being held on charges including transportation of methamphetamine and being a convicted felon in possession of a gun and ammunition, authorities said.
Reynoso was convicted of an assault with a deadly weapon in 2000 after stabbing a person in Oak View, authorities said. He also has been convicted of other charges, including possession of narcotics for sale and possession of a gun while in possession of narcotics.
Sheriff's Department gang investigators served a search warrant at Reynoso's house in Oak View on Saturday and found a shotgun and ammunition, authorities said.
Investigators arrested Reynoso at his home on Wednesday on suspicion of being a convicted felon in possession of a gun and ammunition and being in custodial grounds.
He was held at the Ventura County Jail on Wednesday in lieu of $150,000 bail.

Don't worry. He'll be out in no time. Our local judges make sure the revolving door at our court system stays well oiled.

Two down how many scumbags to go? This is the most positive news I've heard in three years. And just in time for valentine's day. I want to thank everyone who helped bring a little justice to our world......Gael halle no...they are a gang of thugs and red flagers. They know how to make you look bad while they are having their way with your girl. How do you spell extortion? Thank you...

people should not be so quick to judge. i met mr reynoso many years ago and over the years he has not changed. he has been a real friend, always supportive of anything positive i did, honest, and wanting the best for me. hard working and committed to family. is he rough around the edges, definetly. no one is perfect. what we read in the news is not the whole story and there is far more good in this man than bad.

Hey 2ndgeneration, did reynoso pay you to post that comment? Or did his public defender "ask you to write something positive" about his/her client?
Being in a criminalistic gang does not make you "more good than bad". True, we all fall short of The Lord, everyday, but somewhere you have to straighten up and fly right.
I hope you are on the right path and not the wrong.

It's funny how so many of you are so quick to jump on here and leave your B.S. comments about someone you don't know! You read a story in the paper and think that you know it all! Did you ever think that this story was written from information given by the police? If Sabian were in front of you right now would you say any of this to his face? My husband and I are very fortunate to know Sabian, and no he didn't pay us to write this! He is a good person, a true friend, a wonderful father. Who are any of you to judge him? Don't you have anything better to do then to get on here and trash talk?

Hells Angels are such losers! Just another gang. They actually look like stupid cartoon characters to me, thinking they're all macho because they're on a motorcycle wearing leather with long hair. If they only knew we laugh at them when they drive past!

I have met Mr. Reynoso in the past and yes he may be a nice guy but he's still a member of the Hells Angels who has no issues with doing crimes to benefit the gang. Being a "good father" or a "nice guy" doesn't excuse you from being a criminal.

I am surprised at the casting of aspersions upon such nice folk who only ride motorcycles and keep at bay, the LA gangs from dealing drugs in our area.

There are "nice folk" who ride motorcycles, but everyone knows Hell's Angels are not nice. They sell drugs and commit felonies to earn the stupid leather jacket and insignia.

Hmm, I was unaware that convicted felons couldn't even enter the grounds without prior permission from officials. That's a very interesting rule, I suppose based on some previous acts of vengeance or the sort.
Either way I don't know any involved in this so no point in making any judgments. But I can tell you I hear about a lot more blood baths at the fault of other gangs everywhere than I have about the HA's-- in fact this is the first mention I've seen in quite some time and compared to the common family slaughters of other gangs this isn't much of anything.
As for the having a gun, I honestly feel it's not right to restrict the constitutional rights of people who have paid their debts (assuming any and all probation and jail/prison time was completed).

Lets not forget innocent until proven guilty to all you Judges out there. Last time I checked wearing a patch or belonging to an organization doesn't make that person a criminal. The actions of an INDIVIDUAL should not define the group! I'm not saying that the Hells Angels are all saints, but by the same token, what someone chooses to belong to or decide to wear does not necesarily define there whole life and who they are as individuals. God Bless you all.

Classic Vcsd's Petty crap. Trespassing on Jail property. I know for a fact that signs are not posted that state if your a convicted felon you cannot be on jail property. So the way I see it is if the law is not posted in plain view of the public, you want to start screaming entrapment. How hard were they looking to know he was there. It's not like he was committing comercial burgulary of the county jail. Post the signs you flipping Nazi Gustopo. God if it wasn't a reality it would be hysterical.
