GILBERT, AZ — Nineteen-year-old Deleon Haynes was sentenced to three years supervised probation for his role in an attack at the Gilbert In-N-Out in August 2023.
Haynes pleaded guilty to aggravated assault marking the first adult sentenced following dozens of arrests in East Valley teen violence cases.
Haynes spoke in court during the sentencing. The teen told a Judge he was "embarrassed" and "ashamed" of his actions. He appeared to keep his head down while video of the assault was played multiple times in court.
