The jury in the trial of Talmage Trujillo returned their verdicts on November 22nd, 2022. Trujillo was facing three charges related to a September 23, 2021, incident at Salida High School when the school was placed on lockdown after a potential threat from a minor who was not a student. Police say Trujillo was with that minor and wouldn’t tell police where they were or where they were going.   

Trujillo was found not guilty of obstruction of government operations, and guilty of the misdemeanor charges of obstruction of a police officer and harboring a minor. 

Trujillo has another trial date set for December 21st and 22nd related to the events of February 2, 2022. That’s when Trujillo was arrested for a second time after allegedly erasing evidence from his phone in front of police.
