Ex-Con Jailed For Alleged Contact With Gang Member

An ex-convict released from prison less than five months ago was jailed for allegedly having contact with a gang member.

Diego Bueno, 23, was taken into custody Wednesday evening and booked into the Will County jail on a charge of unlawful contact with street gang members. Bueno’s bond was set at $50,000 for the misdemeanor.

Bueno, an Aurora resident, was released from prison in October. He did three years and three months for firing a gun at an occupied vehicle. He was convicted of the crime in Kane County.

Bueno allegedly had contact with the unidentified gang member in December.

The case against Bueno was filed in Will County court.
