Another Innocent Person goes to Jail!!!!! Tuesday, August 24, 2005 Arizona Republic Section B, Page 4 In aggravated assault, 3rd time is no charm Phoenix After standing trial three times for hitting a Phoenix police officer with a two-by-four, a Glendale man was convicted of aggravated assault in Maricopa County Superior Court Monday. Luciano Arriaga, 38 already had one conviction for the same crime overturned on appeal because of a judges error. His first trial ended in a hung jury. The charge stemmed from an altercation with a Phoenix police officer in 2002. The officer saw Arriaga roll through a stop sign, and when Arriaga got out of his car to walk into a body shop, the officer followed him. During the ensuing tussle, Arriaga grabbed a two-by-four and struck the officer. Arriaga was charged with resisting arrest and aggravated assault. In September 2002, a jury found him guilty of resisting arrest, but deadlocked on the assault charge. That conviction was overturned in August 2004.
