SALT LAKE CITY — A man serving a life sentencing in Utah without the possibility of parole for committing a triple homicide nearly seven years ago is facing new charges of having weapons in prison.
David Fresques, 32, who goes by the street name “Twisted,” was charged Tuesday in Sanpete County’s 6th District Court with having a weapon in a correctional facility, a second-degree felony. The alleged incident happened Aug. 8 at the Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison, according to court records.
Fresques was also charged a year ago in 3rd District Court with having a dangerous weapon while at the Utah State Prison, a second-degree felony, after a piece of metal was found in his underwear during a strip search, according to charging documents. The next court hearing in that case is scheduled for Jan. 16.
He is currently serving a life sentence for the Feb. 12, 2013, shooting deaths of Omar Jarman, 35, Shontay Young, 34, and Danielle Lucero, 26, inside a house at 8286 S. Adams St. A fourth victim, Vickie Myers, was also shot but survived. In 2014, Fresques pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated murder, avoiding a potential death sentence.
