Ronald D. Yandell, a leader of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, allegedly attacked two officers last Friday morning as they were transferring him back to his cell after an appointment at the prison’s health building.
Prison officials say he drew an improvised weapon with razor blades against the officers. He dropped the weapon after an officer used pepper spray and was restrained and removed without further incident, officials said. No staff was injured.
Yandell is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter. He arrived at the Sacramento (New Folsom) California prison in 2004. The case will be referred to the county district attorney’s office for possible felony prosecution for attempted homicides, officials said.
Yandell’s lawyer did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. This attempt comes a few months after Yandell was badly injured in what he alleges correctional officers handcuffed and beat him.
In 2019, following a multiyear investigation, Yandell was charged in the killing of several inmates that officials say included a member of a rival gang as well as Aryan Brotherhood associates who did not follow the rules. Federal officials said he was part of the gang’s three-member leadership commission.
A jury in April of this year found him guilty of several counts of murder and conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, as well as several counts related to the distribution of heroin and methamphetamine in conjunction with Mexican Mafia members.
Officials said Yandell and his cellmate oversaw a significant heroin and methamphetamine trafficking operation and used smuggled-in cellphones to directed murders and drug trafficking in Sacramento and other California cities, while also controlling the membership of the Aryan Brotherhood.

With the recent conviction, normally Yandell would have been moved to a federal prison. However BOP officials made clear they did not want to take in high risk gang leader inmates already serving the same length sentences (life without parole) in the federal system.
The long time ploy to breakup prison gangs by transferring their leaders or convicting them on federal RICO charges has only furthered the expansion and reputation of the gangs.
One of the rival gang members killed at the direction of Yandell was Hugo Pinell, a purported leader of the Black Guerilla Family gang and infamous member of the San Quentin 6, with which he helped to slit the throats of San Quentin prison guards during a failed 1971 escape attempt.
Pinell, who long denied any gang connection, was killed days after being moved out of isolation.

ReplyDeleteSo and wow a inmate trying to attack a corrections officer what a story
ReplyDeleteFr he might be a former methhead but this has nothing to do with drugs or Mexican organized crime 💀
DeleteThere’s more to the story of Yandell… he was/is one of the top 3 (in the commission) for the AB in Cali… and was part of the enormous indictment with Mosca from La Eme, who was getting his keys of H from the cartels down south… and is dead now too…
DeleteAnd if you guys have been following BB for some time now, you’d know more about Yandell — who was/is technically #1 for the AB in CA… 🦉

ReplyDelete@Sunflower33 — if you wanna see and hear him speak…
Who cares what this loser tried to do. He’s a nothing and nobody. Don’t realize BB was doing pieces on junkies as well as. AB’s are a bunch of Chesters and scary little white boys that band together so they won’t get their chon chon tampered with. They like to do the tampering. Which if you pitching or catching your still playing baseball.
ReplyDeleteYou really are dumb if you think the Brand is a joke. La eme and the Brand have been allied for decades, do you really think LA eme would respect a weak group?
Delete8:22 exactly these fools don’t know nada
Delete8:22 there’s a ex c.o officer in YouTube and he said the a.b were the most prepared with weapons and their hits were surgical so you don’t say that I’m biased I’m Mexican
DeleteI mean they’re only a threat to people in prison. Out here in the real world they’re junkies , customers. All those gangs are only powerful or a threat if you’re locked up otherwise they’re a bunch of dope fiends that sell out their own mother to get high.
