PHOENIX — A Phoenix man who pleaded guilty to weapons and street racing charges has been sentenced to prison time by a Maricopa County judge.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said Thursday that Jessie Ray Luna-Espinoza, 33, was sentenced to more than two years in an Arizona Department of Corrections prison.
MCAO says Luna-Espinoza “is known in the illicit street racing community as an organizer, who uses social media platforms to entice and engage others in the community in committing this type of illegal and dangerous activity.”
