Suspects arraigned in armed assault, yuma, assault, ruiz - News - YumaSun: "Felony complaints were filed Friday afternoon against two of the four suspects arrested in connection to the assault of a Yuma teenager earlier this week, in what police are calling a gang-related incident.

In the complaint filed against him, Michael Anthony Ruiz, 18, of Yuma, was charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, assisting a criminal street gang and two counts each of aggravated assault and threatening and intimidating.

The same seven felony charges were also filed against 18-year-old Richard Martinez, also of Yuma.

Ruiz and Martinez were both arraigned before Yuma Justice of the Peace Greg Stuart, who ordered that each of their bonds remain at $400,000, which he had set at a previous hearing.

Stuart also set the teens' next court date for 4 p.m. on Dec. 10, for a preliminary hearing. The judge also appointed each of them a public defender to represent them."
