Gazlay allowed to travel
Thursday, June 10, 2004 | 11:33 a.m.
District Judge Michael Cherry decided today to lessen the house arrest restrictions for a 19-year-old whom authorities allege was a leader of the 311 Boyz gang.
Steven Gazlay, who was released to house arrest on May 14 as part of a plea agreement, will be allowed to travel to Albuquerque to visit his grandfather, who is dying of stomach cancer. Gazlay was scheduled to leave for Albuquerque after the hearing and must return on Monday.
Gazlay also will be allowed to leave his home to work Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Attorney Louis Palazzo said Gazlay would be working in an "administrative capacity with his mother" in order to "defer the expenses of house arrest."
The district attorney's office had no objection.
Cherry said he granted the request in part because Gazlay had already "served substantial jail time" as a result of his charges.
Gazlay pleaded the equivalent of no contest May 14 to felony battery and assault with deadly weapon charges in connection with a rock-throwing incident that maimed Stephen Tanner Hansen and the beating with a crow bar of Sean Quinn.
Two other cases against Gazlay were dismissed, and he will receive probation, with a suspended sentence of four to 20 years.
Gazlay originally had been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder with use of a deadly weapon, as well as multiple counts of coercion and battery with a use of a deadly weapon.
Gazlay's house arrest was originally to "be home 24 hours a day" with the only exception being a medical emergency. If Gazlay was caught violating those terms he would immediately be back in custody, Adair had warned.
Gazlay joined fellow alleged 311 Boyz members Brandon Gallion, Christopher Farley, Jeff Hart, Dominic Harriman, Bradley Aguilar and Matthew Costello accepting plea agreements on charges stemming from the Hansen attack.
Scott Morse, the only alleged member of the 311 Boyz gang to go to trial, was acquitted on June 2.
Charges against Anthony Gallion, another alleged 311 Boyz gang member, were dismissed.
Gazlay, Brandon Gallion, Farley, Harriman, Aguilar, Costello and Hart await sentencing on July 6.
