A 20-year-old Auburn man pleaded not guilty Thursday to a first-degree assault charge after he reportedly attacked a rival gang member in the King County jail at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

King County prosecutors charged Anthony Archuleta Sept. 8<\/a> with first-degree assault in connection with an Aug. 31 fist attack against another inmate, according to charging papers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Archuleta is scheduled to return to court Sept. 26 when a trial date could be set or attorneys could ask for more time to prepare the case. He remained in jail with bail set at $350,000.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Prosecutors describe Archuleta as a well-documented member of the Rancho San Pedro Pee Wee Sureno criminal street gang and the victim of the attack as a Playboy Surenos associate<\/a>, a rival South King County Latino gang.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Archuleta allegedly attacked the other man as that man was being processed in a jail unit that included Archuleta and other inmates in the day room area for a morning break. Without warning or provocation, Archuleta punched the man repeatedly in the face with closed fists.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Archuleta reportedly told jail staff after the attack that it was “something he had to do” and that he had problems on the street with the man.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Archuleta said at a disciplinary hearing that the man had accused him in July of keying his car and that he has charges out of Auburn for malicious mischief because of the incident.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Auburn Police arrested Archuleta Aug. 27 for investigation of burglary. He was booked into the county jail in Seattle and transferred Aug. 28 to Kent. He was charged with first-degree burglary Aug. 31.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
