Teens to stand trial in death
By PATRICK MALONETHE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
Two teens with suspected gang ties have been ordered to stand trial for the shooting death of a woman in August.
District Judge Dennis Maes ruled Monday that probable cause exists for Michael Highelk, 18, and Phillip Castro, 17, to stand trial on charges of first-degree murder for the death of 21-year-old Jamie Ruybal.
Highelk is accused of driving a car carrying Castro, when Castro allegedly fired a shot from a 9 mm handgun that struck Ruybal as she stood in the driveway of a house in the 2500 block of Fifth Avenue early on the morning of Aug. 19. Both defendants have been charged as adults.
Highelk is in jail in lieu of $750,000 bail. Castro, who faces an additional charge of possession of a weapon by a previous offender, is in jail with bail set at $1 million.
Highelk reportedly told police rival gang members outside of the house where the shooting took place shouted at him and Castro, flashed gang signs at them and pounded on Highelk's car as they drove past, prompting Castro to shoot.
Witnesses told police the car passed the home once, then made a U-turn and returned before the fatal shot was fired.

By TRACY HARMON
THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
CANON CITY - A former sixth-grade teacher at Lincoln Elementary School will face two years to life in prison after she pleaded guilty Monday to two child sexual assault charges which involved her former students.
Jennie Overstreet, 33, pleaded guilty to two felony counts of sexual assault on a child and 17 other charges were dropped as part of the plea agreement.
Police had evidence that six juvenile male victims, all former sixth-grade students who were in her class, ranging in age from 12 to 14, were allowed to drink alcohol and view pornography at Overstreet's home, plus many smoked marijuana with her and two admitted to taking a prescription drug with her.
One boy, age 13, said he had sexual intercourse with Overstreet on three occasions. Another boy, age 13, said she performed oral sex on him.
Many of the boys also told police Overstreet would buy them gifts or give them cash.
Overstreet has been jailed since her May 26 arrest. She will return to court Nov. 22 for sentencing.
'She can be held in prison forever,' said District Attorney Molly Chilson. 'We are getting what we want.'
Chilson said since the sex offender legislation was enacted in 1998, only two offenders have been granted parole.
She remains jailed in lieu of $75,000 bail at the Pueblo County jail."

Masked men Friday night invaded and assaulted a man in his Bessemer home and stole $3,500 in cash, according to police.
The incident occurred at 9:34 p.m. in the 1600 block of Spruce Street, according to Pueblo police officer Gregory Paul Drake's report.
Victim Terry Garner, 38, suffered cuts and bruises, Drake said.
Garner said he heard a knock at his front door at 9:10 p.m. He opened the door and saw a 27-year-old woman acquaintance standing with at least five masked men.
The men rushed into the house and knocked Garner to the ground and beat him with their fists and feet, Drake said.
Suspects also rummaged through kitchen cabinets and found $3,500 in $100 bills Garner had stashed. Garner said the woman standing outside was the only person who knew where the money was, Drake said.
The suspects were described being unarmed black men wearing bandanas across their faces. Police recovered one bandana in the house, Drake said.

Everything was golden until the police arrived.
That's when a Pueblo man was cited for urinating in public and huffing gold spray paint.
According to a report by Pueblo police Cpl. Gary Vannelli, officers responded to reports of a man urinating outside of the Bramble Tree Inn, 115 E. Eighth St., at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday.
Police found the suspect urinating off of a second-floor balcony. As officers climbed the stairs to contact him, they could hear the man talking to himself.
At the top of the stairs, police found the suspect sitting down with three cans of spray paint near his legs and lamenting that he had wet his jacket. His face and hands were covered in gold paint.
A fourth can of gold spray paint was collected by police when they transported the suspect to a detox center.
