"A Bay Area man was sentenced to 17 months in prison for plotting with other gang members to rip off a Union City drug house in 2018, court records show. Caleb Eller allegedly scoped out the target house, theorizing they would get at least a brick of cocaine from the home and that the brothers who ran it, who'd been robbed before, wouldn't put up a fight. He suggested his cohorts boot the door down and get it from them, prosecutors said in court filings."
"Eller was one of dozens of alleged Norteno or Nuestra Familia affiliates charged in 2021 as part of a massive racketeering prosecution aimed at taking down the structure of Norteno gangs throughout California. Since his arrest and pretrial release, he was turning his life around, starting an online business, participating in regular food distribution services for folks in-need, and engaging in youth counseling, his attorney wrote in court filings."
Caleb Eller allegedly scouted a Union City drug house in 2018 and plotted with gang members to force entry and steal at least a brick of cocaine. Prosecutors said he suggested booting the door and taking the drugs from the brothers who ran the house. Eller was charged in 2021 among dozens of alleged Norteno or Nuestra Familia affiliates in a wide racketeering prosecution across California. After an initial arrest and pretrial release, he began an online business and community work but was later arrested in a 2020 Southern California home-invasion. A judge granted seven months credit and ordered his federal sentence to run concurrently with any state sentence.
