Mongol motorcycle gang member Ezekiel Lujan, 31, of Glendora on suspicion of dealing methamphetamines all over the San Gabriel Valley.

Glendora Police arrested Ezekiel Lujan, 31, of Glendora on suspicion of dealing methamphetamines all over the San Gabriel Valley. Lujan is also is suspected of possessing handguns as a felon.Police say they have arrested another Mongol motorcycle gang member, this time on drug charges.Officers watched Lujan for a month before pulling him over and detaining him Tuesday near a West Covina house he frequented, said Lt. Joe Ward of the Glendora Police Department.In the house on the 200 block of North Garvey Avenue, police found four pounds of meth, $46,000 and two hand guns, Ward said."He was dealing meth all over the San Gabriel Valley," Ward said. The drugs had a wholesale value of $100,000, Ward said.Police also found a helmet and a jacket emblazoned with Mongols symbols.Lujan lived in a Glendora apartment, where the investigation started. No one else was arrested in connection with the case, Ward said.In October, a nationwide, federal sweep targeting members of the outlaw motorcycle gang led to 61 arrests in Southern California, concluding a three-year undercover investigation.Many of the arrests in "Operation Black Rain" were made in the San Gabriel Valley. Everyone arrested in that sweep is a suspected member or associate of the Mongols Motorcycle Club, an organization that originated in Montebello in the 1970s, but is now headquartered in West Covina.Ward said the investigation into Lujan was not related to the federal sweep, but he suspected federal agencies were paying attention, he said.
"In law enforcement, everybody knows pretty quick when you make an arrest like this," he said.The investigation into Lujan was carried out in conjunction with the La Verne and Irwindale police departments, Ward said.Lujan bailed out of jail for $200,000, Ward said.
