A 20-year-old alleged gangmember accused of stabbing a landscape in his truck at a Half Moon Bay shopping center will stand trail for assault, a judge ruled after a preliminary hearing on the evidence.
Francisco Manuel Miramontes, of Half Moon Bay, has pleaded not guilty but was held to answer for the May 22 attack.
Around 1:30 p.m. that day, the victim was working with his fellow crew for Allied Landscape Services at the Strawflower Shopping Center. The man was driving the company truck when prosecutors say Miramontes and three others yelled “Half Moon Bay” at him. When the victim responded that they were in fact in Half Moon Bay, Miramontes allegedly ran up and stabbed him repeatedly in the arm through the open truck window.
Deputies arrested Miramontes at home hours later and the victim was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Miramontes remains in custody on $100,000 bail and returns to court July 18 to enter a Superior Court plea.
