Under the Maricopa City Code, letting a dog roam loose should result in a $50 fine — not jail time. But that’s exactly what happened to a Glennwilde man, identified by police as a member of a neo-Nazi prison gang, who was arrested after failing to pay his fine and missing his court date.

With a dozen prior felony convictions out of California and Arizona, Ronald Allen Stricklett, 61, was brought before a Maricopa City Court judge yesterday.

It was just before 10 a.m. Wednesday when Maricopa Police Department officers visited Stricklett’s West Somerset Drive home on an unrelated matter, according to a probable cause statement.

A records check at the home revealed Stricklett had an active warrant out of Maricopa on charges from July 29 of having a dog at large, according to court files.

Stricklett is identified in police documents as a member of the Aryan Brotherhood, “a notoriously violent neo-Nazi white supremacist group and organized crime syndicate,” according to Britannica.

Stricklett is shown in court records to have faced a half-dozen felony cases in Ventura County, Calif., in the 1990s, including burglary and receiving stolen property. In 2012, Stricklett was convicted in Maricopa County Superior Court on multiple narcotics and firearms charges out of Peoria, and two years later, he was convicted of making prison contraband in Navajo County Superior Court.

Since last year, Stricklett has racked up a dozen more charges in Maricopa, ranging from auto theft last November to petty crimes like driving with no registration and no insurance.

Stricklett’s $50 fine from July could spell six months in jail, according to Arizona sentencing guidelines. On Wednesday, he was being held on a $350 bond. Yesterday, the bond was quashed.

Western Pinal Justice Court records also show the Glennwilde Homeowners Association sued Stricklett and other defendants last year on undisclosed civil charges. The defendants, including Stricklett, lost the lawsuit.
