Biker gang members arraigned in federal court yesterday morning - News - Progress-Index: "Jack 'Milwaukee Jack' Rosga - whom federal officials in indictments described as the group's national president and two local men Charles 'Chuck' Barlow, 43, and Dennis 'Chew Chew' Haldermann, 45 both from Chesterfield.
Barlow and Haldermann were listed in the indictments as alleged members of the allied Pagans Motorcycle Club. According to a federal indictment, the biker gang operated in Petersburg.
Haldermann was charged in count three of the indictment - violent crimes in aid of racketeering activity. The indictment charges nine others with this offense, which involves an alleged assault against the Desparados Motorcycle Gang on or about March 14, 2009. The maximum penalty is 20 years in prison.
Haldermann was one of two that appeared in court yesterday in civilian clothes instead of a prison jumpsuit because he is free on bond.
According to the indictments, Outlaws and Pagans members set a trap and assaulted rival Hell's Angels and Desperados Motorcycle Club members at 'Cockade Bar' - later confirmed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia to be Cockade City Grill."

No trouble at memorial services for Outlaws member slain by federal agent | Washington Examiner
No trouble at memorial services for Outlaws member slain by federal agent | Washington Examiner: "Funeral and memorial services Saturday for an Outlaws motorcycle club member slain by federal agents were undisturbed amid heavy security and sightings of rival gang members.
Police Chief Dana M. Kelley of Old Orchard Beach said Diablos members were spotted Saturday and other rival bikers reportedly were seen during the week. The Outlaws remained true to their word, he said, to keep the peace during their services for Thomas Mayne.
'They've all been polite talking to us,' Kelley said. 'They allegedly aren't looking for trouble.'
Mayne, 58, was killed June 15 after agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tried to arrest him at his home. He was one of 27 Outlaws members from many states named in a federal indictment out of Virginia charging them with a range of crimes from attempted murder and racketeering to drug and firearms violations.
At the private funeral in Mayne's hometown, a friend of Mayne's said as he left the funeral at Cathedral Pines that the biker was loyal to his friends."

December in relation to an incident Aug. 30, 2009, after he was arrested for public intoxication.
His lawyer, Morris Bodnar, suggested the charge was laid four months after the minor incident because Bitz was scheduled to appear in court a few days later on a case in which he was challenging on constitutional grounds Saskatchewan legislation against wearing gang colours in bars.
'Were the charges laid to prejudice Mr. Bitz in that matter?' Bodnar asked Const. Bryon Sommacal."

Hell's Angels linked to Oildale stabbing - Bakersfield.com: "Investigation reports about a stabbing death about three weeks ago at a tattoo shop on North Chester Avenue indicate that it stemmed from a fight between two rival motorcycle gangs, the Vagos and the Hell's Angels.
If that proves to be the case, it would be the first Hell's Angels violence in Kern County in decades. One of the early leaders of the Hells Angels, Ralph 'Sonny' Barger of Oakland, wrote in his autobiographical book that about 40 or 50 of his group came to Bakersfield in the late 60s and 70s and got into fights at bars.
In recent years, the only people connected to the Hells Angels in Kern County were a Bakersfield couple convicted of assault and false imprisonment in a 2001 beating and robbery incident between rival gangs near Hanford.
The Bakersfield couple, David and Terri Wilson, were associates, not members, of the Hell's Angels, Kings County prosecutor Michael Rinehart said in 2004. The couple were among 16 members or associates of the notorious Hell's Angels that Rinehart prosecuted over the beating of two Exiles motorcycle club members and holding a woman against her will."

Drug sting puts two men in jail - Winnipeg Free Press
Drug sting puts two men in jail - Winnipeg Free Press: "Edwin Panting and Eric Sandberg were two of the most unlikely suspects nabbed last winter in an undercover police sting dubbed 'Project Divide'. The well-educated men had no prior criminal records or substance abuse issues and came from strong family backgrounds with plenty of community support. Neither had direct ties to the outlaw gang but were drawn in by others.
'The sole motivation here was greed,' Crown attorney Chris Mainella told court on Wednesday.
Panting, 25, and Sandberg, 28, were both sentenced to four and-a-half years behind bars, in addition to six months of time already served. Their guilty pleas mean 12 of the 31 suspects have now resolved their cases. Others caught in the criminal net included a former RCMP officer and the cousin of an NHL hockey player."

'Directing force' of violent drug ring sentenced eight years
'Directing force' of violent drug ring sentenced eight years: "Ottawa Hells Angels Nomads member who headed up a violent cocaine trafficking ring that aimed to take over the drug trade in communities along Highway 401 was sentenced to eight years in prison Tuesday.
However, despite admitting to being what a judge described as the 'directing force' of the group targeting Brockville, Prescott and Gananoque, Mario 'Five Cent' Sincennes' sentence ended up being two years less than that handed down to one of his underlings. Sincennes had managed to avoid much of the 'hands-on' involvement in the criminal organization.
Ontario Court Justice Ann Alder said the evidence against Sincennes may not have been as strong, but it was clear he was in charge of an organization that moved 'substantial' amounts of cocaine with 'total disregard' for consequences to drug users and the community at large.
'It destroys life, it terrorizes individuals, communities and it's all done for one reason only, and that is for greed and that is for profit and that is not acceptable,' Alder said, adding Sincennes would have faced a sentence of more than 10 years had he been convicted at trial.
Sincennes, 46, pleaded guilty to conspiring with a criminal organization to traffic cocaine, conspiring with a criminal organization to possess the proceeds of crime and instructing someone to commit a criminal offence for the benefit of a criminal organization."

Crime Scene - Life in the Outlaw motorcycle gang: "Each member of the gang, officially known as the American Outlaw Association, must own an American-made bike.
Members are allowed in only after a probationary period, during which they may be called on to do menial tasks to 'earn the respect' of the members. Membership requires a unanimous vote of the chapter.
Federal prosecutors in Virginia outlined the gang's practices in a 50-page indictment unsealed this week.
Twenty-three current or former members and four associates are accused of participating in a criminal enterprise that engaged in crimes including assaults, drug dealing and illegal gambling.
The indictment details the criminal allegations against the group. As a longtime police and courts reporter, however, I also found that it offered an unusual window into the inner workings of what federal officials say is a highly-organized group.
Members belong to a chapter that has a president, vice-president, treasurer and an enforcer, the indictment explains. Chapters are grouped into regions run by a boss. And a national president oversees the organization.
Members wear leather or denim vests on which they display patches, according to court papers. One patch shows the club emblem, a skull with crossed pistons.
Another patch reads 'Snitches are a Dying Breed,' which authorities say shows a 'commitment to identify, expel, and, if necessary, murder' people associated with the club who cooperate with law enforcement."

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was responsible for the raid, said Special Agent Mike Campbell.
Neighbors said they heard a boom so strong it shook houses. A charred hole with square edges is on the building's south wall.

More than two dozen Outlaws members across the country were charged Tuesday in Virginia with participating in a criminal enterprise.

Mayne was killed. Two women also were in the house, but nobody else was injured in the shootout, according to the attorney general's office.

When justice is not seen to be done | The Australian
When justice is not seen to be done | The Australian: "Sandro Totani is a member of the Finks motorcycle gang whose lawyers are attempting to persuade the court that South Australia's Serious and Organised Crime (Control) Act - the model for anti-bikie laws in several states - is unconstitutional.
Totani had a win in the first leg of the case last year, when a full bench of the Supreme Court found the law was invalid because it compelled the courts to accept secret evidence they couldn't review.
The judges said this made them 'an instrument of the executive' and 'destroyed the court's integrity'. The court ruled that the right of an accused person to know the evidence against them is 'fundamental to the rule of law'.
The South Australian government is now seeking to have that judgment overturned and its law reinstated.
The hearing has become an important test case, with the attorneys-general of NSW, Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland, the Northern Territory and the commonwealth all intervening to support the use of secret evidence. All of them face the risk of laws being overturned if criminal intelligence is declared unconstitutional."

Gang boss rips up truce with rivals
Gang boss rips up truce with rivals: "leader of the Banditos motorcycle gang, Jim Tinndahn, has personally torn to pieces a 12-year-old truce made with rivals Hells Angels after the latter allegedly recruited Banditos members in Aalborg, reports Politiken newspaper.
According to Tinndahn, the Hells Angels recruited six former Banditos members from the gang’s two Aalborg chapters – an action which he said was in clear violation of the spirit of the agreement.
Tinndahn, who is head of the Banditos for all of Europe and Asia, said the only way to patch up the problem was for the six new Hells Angels recruits to leave Denmark. Sweden would probably not be an option for them, however, as that is Tinndahn’s home country.
But the Swede said he hoped the ‘reasonable’ leaders from the gangs would be able to resolve the conflict.
‘It makes me angry and it makes all Banditos angry,’ Tinndahl told Politiken. ‘But we still have some back doors open where the groups can talk to each other.’
Tinndahl said he doubted ripping up the truce would lead to renewed violence between the two gangs. He added, however, that he could not control every single Banditos member – mentioning in particular the younger ones.
‘I can say to them that we don’t want any trouble, and we can also say to them that if they go into the city they have to have higher-ranking members with them. But that’s a bit more difficult,’ he said.
Kim Kliver, the head of the National Police’s investigation centre, said the police would be keeping an eye on the situation."
According to Tinndahn, the Hells Angels recruited six former Banditos members from the gang’s two Aalborg chapters – an action which he said was in clear violation of the spirit of the agreement.
Tinndahn, who is head of the Banditos for all of Europe and Asia, said the only way to patch up the problem was for the six new Hells Angels recruits to leave Denmark. Sweden would probably not be an option for them, however, as that is Tinndahn’s home country.
But the Swede said he hoped the ‘reasonable’ leaders from the gangs would be able to resolve the conflict.

Santa Claus hit or Jesus hit and control of the post office
moe1409szyslak: Santa Claus hit or Jesus hit and control of the post office: "Favorite Hells Angel technique to murder someone is to
take money from someone and then kill them. They also
rape a woman from the targets family and then use this
woman to bribe persons with sex. They also use sex during
the hit. A Santa Claus or Jesus hit is also called a Satan Slave
hit. They are illegally contacting political figures
so they can get away with trying to murder me. Officer
Eyer at the Washington County Jail is a Hells Angel that
is used by HUSTLER magazine and by pornography companies
as a hit man. He is used by Hugh Heffner, HUSTLER magazine,
and by the Hells Angels so they can get away with crimes.
They are all connected by Officer Eyer. I will leave it
up to the Washington County Jail staff to figure this out."

Angels fear tax man hell as legal fight fails | Herald Sun: "TOP Hells Angels bikies will be forced to answer questions about tax fraud and how they pay for their extravagant lifestyles after losing a court challenge against the Australian Crime Commission yesterday. The bikies fought tooth and nail against being dragged before the top crime-fighting body after
nationwide raids on their homes in a crackdown on the gang's illegal activities last year.
Their lawyers sought an injunction to block the examinations, arguing that not only were the commission's search and arrest warrants invalid but so was a secret meeting in a Darwin hotel room between the country's police commissioners to finalise the raids.
The Federal Court rejection of their challenge means 12 of the bikie bosses will be quizzed about their present, future and past involvement in the Hells Angels as long ago as 19 years. Their identities have been suppressed."

Man used biker claims to terrorize girlfriends
Man used biker claims to terrorize girlfriends: "31-year-old man who pretended to be an outlaw biker so his girlfriends wouldn't report it when he raped, beat and stole from them was sentenced to six years in prison Wednesday.
Peter Guido admitted that he pretended to be a member of the elite Hells Angels Nomads and routinely told the two women that their lives would be at risk if they didn't submit to his demands for money and sex.
'Mr. Guido lived a parasitic lifestyle off each of these women in an atmosphere of fear that he carefully created and manipulated through lies and threats,' said Ontario Court Justice Lynn Ratushny.
Ratushny said Guido gained each woman's trust, and once in a relationship, began lying and bragging about his supposed connections to the Hells Angels -- including that he was the nephew of their president Paul 'Sasquatch' Porter -- and about disposing of dead bodies."
