A "Gilbert Goons" member charged in the fatal beating of Preston Lord is no longer allowed to operate a motor vehicle after Maricopa County Superior Court Commissioner Cindi Nannetti revoked his driving privileges following his reckless driving arrest in Tempe.
Talyn Vigil, 20, wore a striped jumpsuit issued to Maricopa County Sheriff's Office inmates on Sept. 18 after Tempe police arrested him and another man the previous day on misdemeanor reckless driving and exhibition of speed charges.
The arrest was Vigil’s third since his release on a $1 million bond in 2024. He was arrested in 2025 on charges of violating an order of protection and in February 2026 on a reckless driving charge involving a dirt bike.
Nannetti set an additional $5,000 bond
for the new criminal traffic charges and revoked Vigil's driving privileges, which had already been limited to visiting his attorney, bail bondsman, medical appointments and court hearings while he was on house arrest.
"It seems like when you're on a motor vehicle — doesn't go well," Nannetti said. "And good choices are not made."
The new restrictions also applied to E-bikes and electric scooters.
Vigil said he agreed with Nannetti's decision to revoke his driving privileges while suggesting he wasn't to blame for his latest run in with the law.
"I'm not gonna say anything, you know, but wasn't my fault," Vigil said without elaborating further. "I'm honestly gonna stay off of driving myself."
His only question to Nannetti was to confirm that he would be released within 24 hours after his bail bondsman had posted the new bond, which the commissioner affirmed.
"As long as you see pretrial services, 'cause I'll want them to talk to you again," Nannetti said. "But yeah. I mean, whenever they can post your bond and they can get your ankle monitor back on."
Vigil was released from jail at 10:17 a.m. on Sept. 21, according to Sheriff's Office spokesperson Dave Moyer. He's due back in court on Sept. 24 where Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sam Myers will weigh whether to modify Vigil's release conditions in light of his new criminal charges.
Vigil so far has managed to remain on house arrest despite prosecutors previously requesting a judge revoke his release conditions following his previous arrests while out of custody.
Myers denied the request in April, saying he did not feel Vigil was a threat to the community or that he would fail to appear in court. It was unclear if the latest arrest would cause Myers to reconsider.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said Sept. 18 that prosecutors were aware of Vigil’s latest arrest.
“Any action we take will be done through the appropriate channels in court,” office spokesperson Erin Pellett said.
Investigators say Vigil is part of the Gilbert Goons — a teen gang whose members recorded themselves attacking other teenagers in parks, mall parking lots, outside fast food restaurants and at house parties.
A December 2023 Republic investigation initially documented at least seven attacks involving the group over the preceding year, drawing on interviews, court and police records, social media posts and videos.
Further reporting by The Republic found 95 people participated in 18 attacks. Some of the same people were involved in more than one attack. Two attacks were captured in multiple videos, and videos for three attacks were unavailable.
