Mariachi Bands Are Gangster
Holy Smokes, check this out, this photoshopped image is amazing. Read the story for something equally as incredible.
A gun-toting mariachi who held a gun on a musician who wanted to quit his band was sentenced to probation today in Denver District Court. Alvaro Alvarado-Amarias, 31, was given a three-year prison sentence suspended as long as he stays out of trouble for his three-year probation term. Originally charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment and assault, Alvarado-Amarias pleaded guilty to menacing. He was arrested Jan. 5 for holding Ervey Ruiz, 52, at gunpoint for five hours, threatening to kill him because Ruiz told him he was joining another band. For the past several years, Alvarado-Amarias has led Toros de la Sierra, a three-man mariachi group. Ruiz said he decided to leave because drinking was a higher priority with his bandmates than practicing their music.
