Hells Angel granted bail on a $75,000 surety and 21 conditions: "Juel Ross Stanton, 41, a full-patch member of the Hells Angels’ East End chapter charged with assault causing bodily harm, was granted bail Monday on a $75,000 surety and 21 conditions, some of which are “unprecedented,” the head of the Vancouver police gang task force said.
Stanton had become such an intimidating force that senior police officers set up a meeting two months ago with the president of the East End chapter of the notorious biker gang “to tell [Stanton] to shape up,” Insp. Brad Desmarais told a police news conference.
“Clearly, they were unable to control him,” said Desmarais.
He said a number of gang squad sergeants and constables met with East End president John Bryce and convinced the top biker to agree to rein in Stanton, “but circumstances proved otherwise.”"
