Skinheads Gang Member Sentenced in Drug Charges Case

A Sacramento Skinheads street gang member has been sentenced to 75 years to life in prison after being convicted of two counts of manufacturing methamphetamine, transporting methamphetamine and possessing methamphetamine for sale to benefit or in association of the street gang. 

Charles Gilbert Demar, III was arrested in 2011 after Citrus Heights Police held an undercover stakeout. 

The full release from the Sacramento County District Attorney office is below:

District Attorney Jan Scully announced that Charles Gilbert Demar was sentenced by the Honorable Marjorie Koller to a total aggregate sentence of 75 years to life in prison plus 9 years determinate, consecutive under California’s Three Strikes Law.

On May 1, Demar wasconvicted by jury of two counts of manufacturing methamphetamine, transporting methamphetamine and possessing methamphetamine for sale.

The jury also found true the allegation that the crimes were committed for the benefit of or in association with the Sacramento Skinheads street gang and that Demar had four prior convictions. Demar was a known validated member of the Sacramento Skinhead criminal street gang.

In March 2011, he was the subject of a surveillance by undercover Citrus Heights police officers. When Demar drove away in his truck, Citrus Heights police requested the assistance of Sacramento County Sheriff’s patrol units to make a traffic stop of Demar on Highway 50. 

Once the deputy activated his patrol car lights, Demar did not immediately yield and was then seen throwing an object out of the passenger window. This was captured by the patrol car’s in-car camera. The object was 1.4 ounces of methamphetamine, packaging and a scale. 

Subsequent searches of Demar’s apartment and garage revealed a large amount of Sacramento Skinhead related signs and photos of Demar with other known validated Sacramento Skinheads. Pseudoephedrine, chemicals and apparatus used in the manufacture of methamphetamine were also found, along with several containers of methamphetamine in liquid form.

A search of Demar’s cell phone revealed a video he had made of himself and another person actively manufacturing methamphetamine in his apartment. 

In 1993, Demar was convicted of first degree residential burglary. In 2000, he was convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine in Nevada. In 2001, he was convicted of a gang-related assault involving two victims for the benefit of a gang.
