Police Chief Luke: ‘Those involved have been held accountable’

“Those involved have been held accountable,” reported Sumpter Township Police Chief Eric Luke to the township board of trustees at its Aug. 9 meeting.
He said the Oct. 31, 2014 cases surrounding the events at Rollers Skate Park are finally closed with the Aug. 1 sentencing at the Third Circuit Court in Detroit of Santino Dominick Deleon to 6 to 22 years in prison.
He said Ralph Rosas, 29, was sentenced to 18.75 to 50 years in prison last October.
The court dismissed charges against the third defendant, Robert Kristopher Stilson.
On the police department website, Chief Luke explained the cases further:
Three individuals were charged for their part in several separate incidents that night; including a stabbing, felonious assault and the armed robbery of three security guards who were working a private party.
The stabbing victim, one of the three security guards involved, was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, but survived and has since recovered.
The disposition of the three defendants is as follows:
SANTINO DOMINICK DELEON, 24, of Saginaw, recently entered into a plea agreement with the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office in which he pled guilty to Assault w/ Intent to Murder and Felony Firearm. All other charges were dismissed. On Aug 1, he was sentenced to a prison term of 6-22 years.
RALPH ROSAS, 29, of Saginaw, was found guilty by a jury following his trial in October 2015. He was found guilty of Assault w/ Intent to do Great Bodily Harm Less Than Murder, Robbery-Armed, and Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Felonious Assault). He was found not guilty of Assault w/ Intent to Murder. On Oct. 30, 2015, Rosas was sentenced to a prison term of 18.75-50 years.
ROBERT KRISTOPHER STILSON, 26, of Saginaw, who had been charged almost identically to the other two defendants, had the charges against him dismissed by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office in June of this year.
The board and audience applauded handing of the case and its successful conclusion.
