Jose “Chille” DeCastro’s losing streak continued on Tuesday as he lost his much-publicized attempt to contest his “U-Turn” ticket in Goodsprings, Nevada, from November of last year.
The incident happened shortly before Thanksgiving of 2023. DeCastro pulled into an emergency vehicle only U-turn and confronted two motorcycle-based police officers. He then illegally used the U-Turn in front of the officers and immediately jumped out of his vehicle to again confront the officers when they pulled him over.
DeCastro was briefly placed in handcuffs during the encounter as officers on the scene read a note placed in his file by officers in Ohio that DeCastro had violent tendencies. DeCastro was ticketed for the illegal U-Turn and warned that his car’s tags had expired.
The ticket went largely unnoticed at the time; however, it resurfaced in January of 2024 when Discord user P Docs obtained the bodycam footage of the incident on the same day DeCastro’s Las Vegas based trial for obstructing an officer and interfering with a traffic stop was delayed due to DeCastro’s stomach issues.
P Docs allowed Our Nevada Judges to play the footage during their coverage of DeCastro’s delayed trial and it was soon featured on the Welsh News Network (with enhanced audio), Irish Demon, PDoc’s own YouTube channel, and dozens of other smaller channels.
Humiliated by his classification as having “violent tendencies,” DeCastro filed to contest the ticket and then filed two copies of his lawsuit against the police forces in Ironton, Ohio and Lawrence County, Ohio, one in the Nevada State Court system and one in the Federal Court covering Nevada, even though his lawsuit against the same defendants was still active on appeal in the Federal Court system.
While both lawsuits have gone largely ignored since DeCastro has been incarcerated for the obstruction and interference charges, the Goodsprings based hearing to contest DeCastro’s ticket was held on Tuesday.
Our Nevada Judges reported that the Clark County Detention Center refused to provide transportation for DeCastro to appear in court nor did DeCastro have access via Zoom. He was found to have committed the illegal U-Turn and forfeited the $415 bond he had put up to contest the hearing.
DeCastro’s next hearing is in Maryland on Thursday for multiple harassment charges.
