The Coos County Sheriff’s Office says it has three known gang members in jail on charges relating to an Nov. 22 home invasion robbery in the Barview area.

On Tuesday, deputies arrested the final suspect, 28-year-old Timothy “Turtle” Machado, a press release said. Previously, police arrested Jason “Casper” Gay, 29, of Coos Bay and Dallas “Dizzy” Silva, 29, of Reedsport.

The robbery occurred the morning of Oct. 22 on Robertson Lane. A woman called 911 dispatchers to report three acquaintances beat up her roommate and stole a TV, video game and other property.

The Sheriff’s Office issued a press release saying the men are members of a prison-affiliated gang called the SouthSiders.

Deputies, with the help of Coos Bay police,  South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team detectives and agents from the Coos County Parole /Probation Office went to 91586 Pemberton Lane in Coos Bay. There, they arrested Machado on a probable cause warrant. Police charged him with second-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, second-degree theft, fourth-degree assault, first-degree intimidation, coercion and parole violation. He’s being held at the Coos County jail without bail.

Silva remained jailed today on charges of second-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, second-degree theft, fourth-degree assault, first-degree intimidation and coercion. His bail is $100,000.

Gay remained jailed today on charges of first-degree burglary, second-degree robbery, second-degree theft and tampering with a witness. His bail is set at $175,000

Some of the stolen property has been recovered and returned to the victims.

Sheriff’s deputies are asking that anyone with information involving illegal activity by gang members or other organized crime groups to call the Sheriff’s Office at 396-2106.

unless you know the real details about these people or about jail or prison you should keep your bussiness out of these comments, as far as This sitting in a cell all day, watching free TV and eating 3 free meals, getting free access to gym equipment so they can buff up and jump the guards is AS(S)ININE! you might want to spend the day in jail and see just how nice it is, as far as bail unless you were in court to hear what the real bail is again you don't know what you are talking about, you all think because you read something it is true well that shows just how much you don't know and how you will believe anything even if it isn't true. I know for a fact one of these men is not nor has never been in a gang and that is the truth.

The only prison gangs we should have are the ones that used to be called "chain gangs". The ones who were manacled together and taken out to do hard manual labor. This sitting in a cell all day, watching free TV and eating 3 free meals, getting free access to gym equipment so they can buff up and jump the guards is AS(S)ININE!

OK, bail goes from 200K to 100K. What's up with that? Coos Bay Police say these three are part of a gang and they are now giving them discounts on bail? Are they being rewarded for something?
