Friend of teen killed by CHP retaliated against with trumped up charges of making threats against CHP officer

The CHP falsely arrests a friend of the late Pedro Villanueva over the meaning of the word 'dump'

A friend of an unarmed 19-year-old teen, who was shot and killed by two undercover CHP officers during an automobile chase on July 3 in Fullerton, California, has been arrested for allegedly using social media to "physically threaten" one of the two undercover CHP officers involved in the controversial fatal shooting of Pedro Villanueva by the CHP.

CHP hinges on one very ambiguous word: 'dump'

The 17-year-old El Monte teenager, who has not been identified because he is a minor, was arraigned Friday at East Lake Juvenile Court on questionable charges of making criminal threats and resisting arrest, both felonies, said his attorney, John Blanchard of Bellflower.

The teen surrendered to Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies on Tuesday afternoon and was being held at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey.

According to the search warrant, the teen allegedly posted a picture to Instagram of one of the two undercover CHP officers involved in the July 3rd fatal shooting of Pedro Villanueva.

The caption on the image asked others to find out where the officer lived, referring to him as a "pig" and used other profane and derogatory terms to describe the officer. So far, nothing that the teen has done can be construed as a bona fide criminal threat.
