Reagan Grandson Pleads Not Guilty in Car Burglaries
- Share via
Former President Ronald Reagan’s grandson pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of breaking into two cars and theft of a variety of electronic and personal items.
Police approached Cameron Reagan, 20, son of Michael Reagan, after they saw him and another man acting suspiciously around some parked cars on Sepulveda Boulevard near the Ventura Freeway, according to Deputy Dist. Atty. John Spillane.
Reagan was charged with burglarizing two cars parked on nearby streets. A co-defendant, Chris Lopez, also 20, was allegedly carrying stolen property when they were spotted by police. Both were arrested Tuesday; Reagan remains in jail in lieu of $30,000 bail.
The stolen property, valued at over $800, included a briefcase, cellular phone, pager, clothing and money, Spillane said.
Reagan pleaded not guilty to charges of burglary, grand theft and petty theft. Lopez, who was charged with receiving stolen property, also pleaded not guilty.
“I don’t know the extent of his involvement or why he would be involved in this case,” said Reagan’s lawyer, Donald R. Wager.
