Suspected Mafia Members Arrested
Police said they arrested several people who they suspect are Mexican Mafia members.
Police said they received a tip that high-ranking mafia members were meeting at Club Movida on East Mitchell Street.
Officers raided the club and arrested the suspected mafia members.
Among the arrested were James Jimenez, 39, and Christina Oviedo, 32, who are being held on charges of cocaine possession.
Officers also arrested Carlos Ybarra, 31, on accusations of possessing a weapon.
Police said the arrests send a strong message to the mafia.
"Several arrests were made," Sgt. Gabe Trevino said. "We found some weapons and we were able to gain a lot of intelligence about who's involved in some of these gangs.
Trevino said gathering the intelligence may help lead to more arrests.
