20-year-old Pittsfield woman with no previous criminal record was accused Friday of conspiring with three others to frame a government witness in a criminal case involving a Berkshire County Hells Angels member.
Alexandra M. Ely, of Ridge Avenue, pleaded not guilty in Central Berkshire District Court to single counts of intimidation of a witness, kidnapping, use of a firearm in a felony, and conspiracy.
The conspiracy count alleges that Ely conspired with Adam Hall, Scott Langdon and Nicole Brooks of fabricating a crime in Wells, N.Y., on Aug. 14 and trying to pin it on 43-year-old David Glasser of Pittsfield.
Hall is described as a ranking member of the Berkshire County Hells Angels chapter.
According to law enforcement authorities, Brooks, 20, of Scotia, N.Y., told New York State Police that Glasser had robbed her at gunpoint, then attempted to kidnap and murder her at a highway rest stop in Wells.
Langdon, 44, of Pittsfield, allegedly had placed a handgun in Glasser's pickup that police discovered when they arrested Glasser in Pittsfield the next day.
Langdon and Brooks also have been arrested, and Hall, 33, of Peru, remained at large on Friday. He had been free on bail awaiting trial in Berkshire Superior Court on 12 charges, including armed robbery. The charges against Glasser, who is a witness in Hall's Superior Court case, have been dropped.
