Hells Angels member carried loaded gun without license, Marlborough Police say - Framingham, MA - The MetroWest Daily News: "Police said a Marlborough man identified in court records as a member of the Hells Angels was wearing an unlicensed, loaded .40-caliber handgun in a shoulder holster when an officer patted him down after a traffic stop Thursday night.
Jason A. Cavooto, 35, was not licensed to carry the Sig Sauer, Detective Martha Shea said yesterday.
'At any time, anything could have gone wrong,' Shea said. 'That's a very dangerous situation for officers.'
Police pulled Cavooto over for allegedly speeding. They searched him as a precaution because he appeared nervous, Shea said.
The weapon is classified as a large-capacity gun because it can hold a magazine with more than 10 rounds. The gun had a loaded magazine, Shea said."

Vincenzo Focarelli appears in court charged with affray | Adelaide Now

Vincenzo Focarelli appears in court charged with affray | Adelaide Now: "'intended target' of February's Hells Angels bombing has appeared in court charged over Monday's Hindley Street brawl. Vincenzo Focarelli, 35, fronted court charged with aggravated affray over the incident - but his lawyers claim he is the victim.
Michael Woods, for Focarelli, said his client had been standing outside his own business, where he had fought back, in a 'clear case of self-defence'.
The court heard the brawl was captured by CCTV cameras and footage allegedly showed 10 Hells Angels using chains, metal bars and chairs to assault a group of four New Boys, of which Focarelli is a member.
Five Hells Angels members appeared in court on Monday and were granted bail on affray charges, while the remaining attackers evaded police.
He said Focarelli had hit back, using a metal pole, 'instead of letting himself get killed'."

full-patch Hells Angels are Alan Peter Knapczyk, 35, and John Reginald Alcantara, 37, and the head of the Fort McMurray drug gang is Jeffrey Mark Caines, 36,

 full-patch Hells Angels are Alan Peter Knapczyk, 35, and John Reginald Alcantara, 37, and the head of the Fort McMurray drug gang is Jeffrey Mark Caines, 36, who earlier pleaded guilty to trafficking cocaine, but is currently disputing certain parts of an agreed statement of facts.Alcantara – who was handed a 14-year prison sentence last Friday after being convicted of conspiring to traffic cocaine – today pleaded guilty to an identical charge.He admitted he had entered into an agreement to assist Caines traffic cocaine in Fort McMurray, but said he is not accepting that Knapczyk was part of it.Alcantara pleaded not guilty to charges of trafficking cocaine and committing an offence in association with a criminal organization while Knapczyk entered not guilty pleas to all three charges.Prosecutor Dennis Hrabcak told Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Sheila Greckol the Crown theory is that Alcantara and Knapczyk conspired with Caines to traffic cocaine in the Fort McMurray area at a kilo and multi-kilo level.Hrabcak said Caines was the head of a criminal organization that bought and sold cocaine using a network of suppliers, distributors and couriers that he had set up.He told the judge Caines made a 2005 agreement with members of the Hells Angels Nomad chapter and said Alcantara and Knapczyk eventually took over the agreement after a disagreement between the Edmonton Hells Angels and the Nomads over control of the agreement.Court heard the agreement involved the removal of any rivals of Caines’ drug gang, ensuring other suppliers in the area did not undercut his business and the protection of Caines and his distributors for a weekly fee of $20,000.

“Essentially it gave Caines free rein to supply cocaine in the specified area and protection for those he supplied,” said Hrabcak. “In return he paid a fee or tax to the individuals. The reputation of the Hells Angels was used to enforce the agreement.”

The prosecutor alleged Alcantara, who was then a prospect for the Hells Angels and sponsored by Knapczyk, was the front man in the agreement and collected the weekly fee while Knapczyk was the enforcer behind the scenes.Court heard the evidence in the case will come from intercepted communications from a police wiretap operation, cocaine seizures, surveillance from police investigators and both civilian and expert witnesses.The trio were part of a large group of drug dealers taken down in a 23-month joint investigation by various Canadian police agencies .
