Oakland, CA —Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson announced today that criminal charges have been filed against Axel Cisnerosmentos and Aron Anaya. Both men are charged with organizing and facilitating an illegal sideshow after a high-profile Bay Area gathering featuring internet personality iShowSpeed.
Both men have been charged with the following offense:
Organizing and Facilitating a Sideshow, Oakland Municipal Code section 10.74.040(a), a misdemeanor, and Aiding and Abetting a Speed Contest, California Vehicle Code section 23109(b), a misdemeanor.
