CARELTON RAYE STATES: Baldwin Park man Sentenced to Prison for Shooting at Neighbor’s Dog for SIX YEARS. Right ON....

WEST COVINA – A Baldwin Park man accused of shooting at his neighbor’s barking dog was sentenced today to six years in state prison. Carleton Raye States, 31, was convicted on Oct. 5 of one count each of child abuse, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence and having a concealed firearm. Jurors, who deliberated just over a day, also found true an allegation that the defendant personally used a firearm. The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Stephanie Wynn. West Covina Superior Court Judge Douglas Sortino imposed States’ prison sentence at a morning hearing. The charges stem from an incident on May 25 during which the child victim was playing outside of her home with her dog “Smalls,” a female Terrier mix. The dog began barking in response to taunts from the defendant at which point States drew a handgun, prompting the girl to run inside her home. States went on to fire a round at the dog, causing the animal to run inside. Authorities said States then followed the child and her pet inside the home, pointed a gun at the girl – who was holding the dog in her lap – and threatened to shoot the animal. Officers of the Baldwin Park Police Department investigated the case.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
