SALINAS, California- Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on Monday, December 13 that 28-year-old Arturo Porraz of Gonzales was convicted of one count of battery and one count of disturbing the peace by fighting. Judge Jared Jefferson presided over a two-day jury trial that concluded on December 7, 2021. Judge Jefferson sentenced Porraz to 50 days in jail. This conviction prohibits Porraz from owning or possessing firearms for 10 years. On April 30, 2021, Andrew Brown drove to a pizzeria in the city of Gonzales to buy a pizza. After the purchase, he got into his vehicle to leave when another vehicle, driven by Porraz was also attempting to exit the parking lot. The two vehicles were very close to each other causing Brown to honk his horn to avoid a collision. This apparently angered Porraz who began yelling obscenities at Brown. He then got out of his vehicle, challenged Brown to fight, reached into Brown’s window and punched him in the face causing injuries to his nose and mouth.
