WEST PALM BEACH — An 18-year-old who sheriff's office investigators say coaxed his senile grandmother into posing in a Gangstas & Thugs video pleaded guilty this morning to abuse of an elderly person and other crimes.
Michael Alfinez's grandmother, then 85, can be seen in the video shouting curse words and making statements such as, "This is for all the pigs" and "I'll shoot you," while waving around a semi-automatic pistol.
Alfinez of Lake Worth pleaded guilty to the elder abuse charge, as well as shooting into a building and discharging a firearm from a vehicle. He made no other comment as he entered his plea.
In exchange, Alfinez was sentenced to 18 months in a youthful offender facility, followed by three years probation, said Assistant State Attorney Greg Kridos.
