RIVERSIDE
By Chris Levister
 Chandler William Cardwell
August 24, Pacheco announced a permanent anti-gang injunction against the East Riverside gang known as East Side Riva, the city's oldest and largest street gang.
On Saturday, August 25, a classified ad ran in the Riverside Press Enterprise that stated a ‘Big Blowout' yard sale event was to be held at Pacheco's Riverside residence. The ad included his telephone number and address and stated the proceeds would go to a memorial fund in his name.
Police and investigators launched a joint investigation to identify and apprehend the person responsible for the threatening ad. The Detectives staked out
Cardwell's residence located in the 19000 Block of Gustin Road. Cardwell surrendered and was taken into custody without incident. Several firearms were found in the house.
Cardwell has been a member of East Side Riva for the last 6 years. At the time of his arrest, he was an employee of the Press Enterprise. The case will be prosecuted by the State of California, Attorney General's office. Cardwell has been charged with threats to a public official and gang enhancements.
