THE ONE PERCENTER UTAH INTERMOUNTAIN OUTLAW MOTORCYCLE GANG INTELLIGENCE GROUP Volume 2, Issue 14 JULY 2011 THE HELLS ANGELS MC The Hells Angels MC was founded on March 17, 1948 after a man named Otto Friedli and a group of his friends broke off from the Pissed off Bastards of Bloomington (POBOB’s) and founded the first chapter of the Hells Angels MC. The name Hells Angels has a lot of myths and rumors about how it came to be. Many believe it came from a WWII fighter squadron that was known as the Hells Angels, while others believe it was because people who resided in Fontana California, where the original members lived often referred to the group of motorcycle riders as Hells Angels as they rode wildly through the streets of Fontana. Either way the name has become synonymous with what many consider to be the greatest criminal organization since the mafia to exist. Many do not know this, but the original POBOBS were not only a motorcycle club, but a car club as well. Once the club split, the newly formed Hells Angels MC stuck to being a motorcycles only club. In 1954 a second chapter of the Hells Angels MC came into existence with the merging of the San Francisco (Frisco) California based Market Street Commandos MC. The Hells Angels MC has been classified by both the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service as a member of the “BIG 4” of motorcycle gangs. That list is also made up of the Bandidos, Pagans, and Outlaws MC’s. One rumor about the early days of the clubs history is, just after the forming of the club, there was another group of Hells Angels MC in Gardena California. Neither the Fontana nor San Francisco chapters knew they existed, as well the Gardena Hells Angels did not know about the Fontana or Frisco chapters. Eventually over time the two separate Hells Angels met and merged into one organization. The original insignia of the Hells Angels was taken from the 552nd Medium Bomber Squadron, and the 85th Fighter Squadron. Eventually the president of the Frisco Chapter Frank Sadilek designed a version of the club logo which eventually became the revered “Death Head.” After the Anthony Tait case known as Operation Ruff Rider which ended in 1987 the Hells Angels MC sewed the mouth of the death head which originally was open shut. They did this to signify that angels don’t talk. It was a little too late by that time. Like most OMG the Hells Angels run their organization with a military type structure. Unlike ranks like the military, the Hells Angels officer ranks are follows: President., Vice-President., Secretary, Treasure, Sgt-at-Arms, Road Captain., Full Patched Members., Prospects, and Hangarounds. THE ROCKSTARS OF THE OMG WORLD Becoming a member of the Hells Angels MC is a long road, which most do not travel, those that do rarely make it. Unlike other OMG the Angels can pick from the choices ranks in the biker world. Becoming a Hells Angels member begins as a hangaround. One is then invited to prospect for the club. If the prospect period is survived then they are granted full membership. From their one may move into one of the various officer ranks. Prospective members cannot be of African American Descent, been a convicted child molester, have testified or supplied information to law enforcement, or have ever worked as, or applied to work as a police officer, or corrections officer. The Hells Angels MC is the clubs that all OMG even their enemies strive to be. They have since their birth been leading the way in the OMG world. Most of what other OMG and MC in existence today do, how they act, and the patches they wear on their cuts/ colors are all copied from the Hells Angels MC. At this time it is believed that the Hells Angels MC has over 100 chapters in 29 countries. The first chapter outside of the United States was founded in the early 1960’s. Since then they have expended across the globe giving way to new areas of crime for the club and its membership.

THE ONE PERCENTER Page 2 THE HELLS ANGELS MC AND THE MEN INVOLVED WITH IT Since 1948 some of the most influential men in the OMG world have come from the Hells Angels MC,. These members have patented the way almost all OMG and their members act, dress, commit crimes, and basically live their lives. Members that rule that organization and men that even their own members strive to be like, or fear. SONNY BARGER THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MAN IN THE OMG WORLD Had Ralph Hubert “Sonny” Barger, DOB 10-08-1938 never been born, the OMG community would not be as advanced as it is now. Yet alone the Hells Angels MC would not be the world wide criminal organization it is. Sonny joined the Angels in 1957 forming the Oakland Chapter. Sonny brought the mother chapter to Oakland where it has remained since. Sonny had a vision for the Angels. He saw then as a worldwide organization, he incorporated the club, put patens on the name and club logo in not only the United States but in numerous countries. Sonny started branching out with the club forming chapters across the United States and in numerous countries. In 1969, Sonny and the Oakland Hells Angels along with a few Angels from the San Francisco Chapter worked security for the Rolling Stones at a free concert in Altamont California. During the concert Hells Angels members killed an African American man. In 1965 Sonny wrote a letter to then President of the United States Lyndon Johnson volunteering Hells Angels members to behind the line covert military action during the Vietnam War. Of course the offer was declined. During this period in America Sonny was well known for going after peace demonstrators in Northern California. In 1982 Sonny was diagnosed with throat cancer, after being a heavy smoker for most of his life. His voice box was removed and has been able to teach himself to speak again by manipulating his throat muscles. In 1988 Sonny was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder by planning the bombing of a rival motorcycle clubs clubhouse. Sonny was sentenced to federal prison in Arizona. He was released in 1992. Around 1996 Sonny decided he wanted to move back to Arizona as he learned during his stay in prison that the climate was ideal for him and the condition he has with his throat. At the time Arizona was run by the Dirty Dozen MC. Sonny started courting the Dirty Dozen to patch over as Hells Angels. After successfully merging the Dirty Dozen MC into the Hells Angels community, Sonny moved to Arizona becoming a member of the Cave Creek Chapter. Sonny has remained a member of that chapter since. Sonny has authored numerous books, the first being called “Hells Angel the life and times of Sonny Barger and the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. “ Sonny has been able to successfully sell himself as an American Icon, making himself a multi-millionaire by selling his books, t-shirts, beer, stickers, pictures of himself, and anything he can put his name or face on. Many in the OMG community believe that upon the death of Sonny the peace agreements he spent years putting together with rival gangs, as well as established gang boundaries will be broken and we will see more violence with OMG and their members then regular. Volume 2, Issue 14 Page 3 THE MOST PROLIFIC KILLER IN HA HISTORY Canadian Hells Angel Yves “Apache” Trudeau was born in 1946, and was the founder of the North Chapter of the Hells Angels stationed out of Sherbrook, Quebec. Apache was originally a member the Popeye’s another OMG from Quebec which were courted and eventually became the Hells Angels MC North Chapter in 1977. Apache was a heavy cocaine user and addict; he became extremely paranoid and started to believe that the members of his chapter wanted him dead. Apache was a man that others could not miss, standing around 6.5 feet tall. He was extremely lean man only weighing around 135 lbs. Along with being a heavy cocaine addict, he is considered the Angels most dangerous man, having confessed to killing over 40 people in his day, all of his murders were between the years of 1973 to 1985. and his cuts/colors and have his tattoo’s covered. When Apache was released from the rehab center he discovered that his motorcycle and over $40,000 in cash had been taken when the Angels raided the North Chapter Clubhouse. Apache had received information that a contract had been put out on his life having been on the other side so many times in the past when it came to Angels hit’s he knew that his number was soon to be up. Apache was contacted again by the Angels and informed he would get his motorcycle back if he committed two murders for the gang. Apache went after his targets but was only able to kill one of them. Satisfied, the Angels gave him his motorcycle back. Apache was awarded the Angels “Filthy Few” patch and was in fact the first Angel in Canada to earn it. Apache was not afraid to take care of his own, having killed fellow Angel Charlie Hachez who was also a member of the North Chapter. Apache committed this murder as Hachez had an excessive drug problem and owed a fel- Apache decided to cooperate with law enforcement and ended up pleading guilty to 43 counts of manslaughter. Around 35 of those murders were related to the OMG community. Apache plea deal gave him the chance for parole. low Angel around $150,000 in drug debt. Around this time many of the Canadian Angels began to resent the North Chapter members believing that the chapter was cheating them out of drug profits, so a decision was made to exterminate the chapter all together. On March 24, 1985 a meeting was called at the Sherbrook Chapters Clubhouse in Lennoxville. Five members who attended the meeting were murdered. Their bodies were put in sleeping bags and dumped in the St. Lawrence river. A few members were allowed to live and were folded into the Montreal Chapter, thus ending the North Chapters existence forever. Apache was supposed to attend the meeting, but he had entered into a drug treatment program just prior to the meeting being called. Apache had a meeting with a Montreal Chapter member while he was still in the rehab center. He was informed that he had been kicked out of the Angels and was turn In all his Angels related paraphernalia In 1994 Apache was granted parole, and was given a new identity. In 2000 Apache sexually molested a 13 yr old. In 2004 he plead guilty and was sentenced to four years in prison. He was released in 2008 and is now living in an undisclosed location under an assumed identity . APACHE THE ONE PERCENTER Page 4 MORE ON THE LENNOXVILLE MASSACRE It was March 24, 1985 and a meeting had been called between the members of the North Chapter of the Hells Angels MC in Lennoxville, Quebec and other Canadian HA members. A decision had been made to exterminate the members of the North Chapter of the Hells Angels MC due to their wild behavior. The various Canadian HA members and chapters had also been cut out of drug deals and the profit that is earned. When five members arrived at the meeting they were immediately met with gun fire. When the gun fired stopped, the North Chapter President Laurent “L’Anglais” Viau, along with chapter members JeanGuy "Brutus" Geoffrion, JeanPierre "Matt le Crosseur" Mathieu, Michel "Willie" Mayrand, and Guy-Louis "Chop" Adam were dead. The HA members involved in the killings took the bodies, placed them in sleeping bags, weighing them down with weightlifting weights. The bodies were then dumped in the St. Lawrence River. Around two months later the bodies were recovered from the bottom of the river. Multiple HA members participated in the murders, but the only ones charged and convicted of the murders were Robert "Tiny" Richard, Jacques Pelletier, Luc "Sam" Michaud, and Réjean "Zig-Zag" Lessard. The other HA members were convicted on lesser charges. The four convicted of murder were given life sentences. Robert “Tiny” Richard eventually was able to get his conviction overturned and was released. At the time this was considered one of the most violent and extreme attacks in the OMG community. MAURICE “MOM” BOUCHER Maurice “Mom” Boucher, DOB 06 -21-1953 is the former Hells Angels Montreal Canada Chapter President who was convicted of murder for ordering the killings of two prison guards from Quebec. Maurice is currently serving a life sentence for the killings and was convicted and sentenced in 2002. Maurice began his OMG career in 1982 as a member of an OMG named the SSMC. The SSMC was a white supremacist based OMG. MOM Machine territory and persuade its members to patch over or give up their drug turfs. In July of 1994 two members of a HA puppet club entered a Rock Machine friendly motorcycle shop and shot a Rock Machine MC associate. That shooting was the sparks that lead to what is known as the Quebec Biker War. In August of 1994 a HA hangaround detonated a car bomb killing a Rock Machine associate and an 11 yr old boy In Sept 1994 a HA member was shot and killed Around the fall of 1987 Maurice was released from prison after serving time for a sexual assault case. He was approached by and joined the Hells Angels MC in Montreal. Maurice quickly moved up the ladder in the Angels hierarchy and by the early 90’s he was considered one of the most influential one percenters in Canada. During the time Maurice was moving up in rank in a parking lot of a shopping mall. In early 1995 Maurice took the most powerful HA members in Canada and formed a Nomad Chapter. This gave the Canadian Angels the opportunity to operate all over Canada. In 1997 Maurice ordered the killings of the two prison guards, both of who were chosen at random. He was arrested and tried, but was acquitted in 1998. The Canadian government appealed the acquittal and in 2000 Maurice was arrested again on the murder charges. with the Angels. His former best friend and former SSMC members Steven Cazzetta formed a rival club known as the Rock Machine MC. In 1994 Steven was arrested for trying to import 200 kilos of Cocaine. His arrest left the Rock Machine MC leaderless. Maurice quickly moved to take out the Rock Machine MC and organized Hells Angels MC puppet clubs to go into the Rock In May 2002 Maurice was convicted of the killings with the help of a police informant. Maurice is currently being housed at the Canadian Super Max Security Penitentiary which is located in Sainte-Anna-DesPlaines which is north of Montreal Canada. Maurice will be eligible for parole after serving 25 years in prison. Volume 2, Issue 14 Page 5 A MAN OF POWER WHO GOES BY THE NICKNAME “NURGET” When one thinks of what a Hells Angels MC member looks like, most think of a monster of a man standing over six feet tall with long hair, arms covered in tattoo’s ready to beat the hell out of anyone at a moment’s notice. When someone see’s former Canadian Hells Angels MC National President Walter “Nurget” Stadick, most would laugh and would not believe he was a member of the Hells Angels MC let alone one of the most powerful Angels to ever exist. Nurget stands just at 5’4 and by looks is not an intimidating man at all. Nurget was known for using his brain over brawn to beat his enemies. Nurget started his biker career in the 1970’s as a member of the Cossacks MC. Eventually Nurget found his way to the Angels and became a member of the Nomads Chapter in Canada. Nurget lived the biker lifestyle to the fullest, living a way that a large number have died from. While most bikers injuries and death come at the hands of gun fire, knifes, bombs, and other gang violence. Nurget’s only injury as a biker came not at the hands of rival gang members, but during a simple motorcycle accident.. Nurget was severely injured when a Catholic Priest ran a stop sign and crashed into his motorcycle. During the accident the gas tank on Nurget’s bike broke open and the fuel caught on fire. Nurget was severely burned in the crash having injures to his hands, arms, face, and neck. NURGET AND TWO UNKNOWN FEMALES THE QUEBEC BIKER WARS The Quebec Biker Wars began in 1994 when members of the Hells Angels MC started muscling in on drug turf that had been established and ran by a number of drug dealers and crime families. A number of these dealers and crime families got together to form groups like “The alliance to fight the angels.” A few of these dealers got together and formed the Rock Machine MC, that eventually patched over as the Bandidos MC. Around 150 deaths includ- ing that of an 11 yr old boy were tied to the war. The bikers involved in the war routinely killed by utilizing bombs and shootings. In April 2009, 156 members of the Hells Angels MC were arrested in connection with the biker war. During Nurget reign he was able to bring numerous other OMG into the fold of the Hells Angels MC. In 2001 Nurget was arrested in a raid and charged with the murder of 13 individuals. He was acquitted of those murders, but was convicted on the charge of “Gangsterism” and started serving his sentence in 2004. Nurget served as the Canadian National President for six years. THE ONE PERCENTER Page 6 THE VANDAMINATOR Charles “Chuck” Zito, Jr was born on March 01, 1953; he began his career as an outlaw biker in the 70’s. Chuck was a member of a club that merged with the Chinga-A-Ling Nomads. One night Chuck and the ChingA-Ling were invited to a party with the Hells Angels in the late 70’s to early 80’s. A fight broke out and the Angels forced the Ching-A-Ling to drop their cuts/ colors and leave the party. Chuck stood his ground refusing to do so. By standing up to the Angels he earned their respect. He became an Angel shortly after. In 1984 Chuck formed the Hells Angels New York area Nomad chapter and served as chapter president. Chuck is a martial arts master and worked for many years as a bodyguard to the rich and famous and Hollywood elite. Some of the famous people Chuck protected were Liza Minnelli, who has claimed he was the best bodyguard she ever had, as well Sean Penn, Eric Roberts, Charles Bronson, Sylvester Stallone, Charles Sheen, Mickey Rourke, and Jean-Claude VanDamme. A rumor has circulated for years that one night in a bar in Hollywood Jean-Claude VanDamme had a confrontation with Chuck. VanDamme had supposable been bad mouthing Chuck for some time. Chuck confronted VanDamme and the altercation lead to Chuck throwing one punch which knocked VanDamme out cold. Hence the nickname the “Vandaminator. Chuck has maintained a long time relationship with Mickey Rourke and the two have become good friends. Chuck is known to wear a gold boxing glove as a necklace. This was a gift to Chuck from Rourke. Both shares the passion for the sport of boxing. CHUCK LAYS DOWN THE SECOND MOST FAMOUS MOTORCYCLE IN THE WORLD CHUCK AND BLACK DEATH In the 1991 movie “Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man,” Rourke plays the character of Harley Davidson and rides a custom Harley he calls Black Death. Next to Captain America’s chopper in the movie Easy Rider Black Death is one of the most known motorcycle to grace the big screen. In 1999 Chuck was riding Black Death which is owned by Rourke through the Bronx in New York. Chuck hit a pothole and he and bike went down. Chuck suffered a broken right leg which required surgery, massive road rash, and a concussion. Black Death subsequently was run over by a passing motorist. Not related to Chuck, but related to the movie in which Black Death appears, the leather Harley Davidson jacket worth by Rourke in the movie is considered the most recognized and sough after jacket in the motorcycle world. Over the years Chuck has starred in a countless array of movies and television programs. The most famous role to date was that of a character in the HBO television program “OZ.” CHUCK ZITO SUES THE FX NETWORK In that show Chuck played Chucky Pancamo an incarcerated mafia wise guy. In 2005 Chuck left the Hells Angels MC after being a member for around 25 years to focus on his acting career. He was retired in good standing. Just prior to his retiring from the Angels in 2003 Chuck put out a biography about himself named “Street Justice” Many Angels resent Chuck for leaving the club claiming that he used the club to gain fame and fortune and left once he obtained it. In 2010 Chuck filed a law suit against the FX Network requesting 5 million dollars. Chuck claimed that in 2006 he pitched the idea to FX about producing a television program about and outlaw motorcycle club. Chuck claimed FX blew off the idea and then came out with the program “Sons of Anarchy.” Volume 2, Issue 14 Page 7 THE MAN WHO RUNS VENTURA, CALIFORNIA Many have said that George Christie runs Ventura California like the president runs the White House. A man that has worked his way into the business world in Ventura and has come out as one of the most respected in that city. When most of society sees a Hells Angels MC member as a burly long haired, heavily tattooed criminal, many in Ventura see Christie has some sort of folk hero. In 1984 Christie ran with the Olympic Torch for a charity event. Christie has cultivated the image of an upstanding citizen who law enforcement has done nothing but harass. Many in Ventura have looked past Christie’s criminal side. In 1987 he was acquitted on a murder-for-hire charge after attempting to hire a member of the Mexican Mafia to kill a police informant. Christie thanked the jurors in the case, by hosting a BBQ in their honor. He has been a guest speaker at the Ventura High School, as well as speaking on the topic of ethics in the fields of journalism and criminal prosecution. At least 700,000 vicodin and Valium pills were diverted by the Airman into the hands of drug dealers who were either members or associates of the Hells Angels MC. Jury that had convened against the Christie’s and the others involved in the case was defective as it contained too few woman. After a year of being in custody Christie, his ex-wife, and his son George Christie III also a member of the Hells Angels MC pled guilty to reduced charges. The case against the Christie was strong but plea-bargains were forced after a Judge in Santa Barbara ruled that the Grand In 1998 the Ventura Chapter of the Hells Angels lead by Christie hosted the 50th anniversary of the club. Christie and his fellow Angels fell upon the steps of city Christie and his family were given probation in the case and the majority of the charges in the case was dismissed. The Grand Jury which the Santa Barbara Judge had ruled defective sat for 8 months listening to the evidence in this case before handing down indictments. Christie and his son have been arrested since the 2001 case on CLASSIC CHRISTIE (LEFT) WITH MIKEY ROURK. hall for a group photo. Christie has worked most his life as a tattoo artist, having established the Ink House Tattoo of Ventura in 1976. In 1998 law enforcement started looking into Christie and his immediate family after receiving information that they were involved in the sale of various narcotics, which included large quantities of prescription pills. Law enforcement believed that Christie, his family, and others involved with the Hells Angels used high school students to sell narcotics. drug related charges with the last arrest coming against his son George Christie III on May 02, 2011. Christie claims to have left the Angels and now runs a consulting business called Felony Prison Consultants (FPC). Christie works with those who have been convicted of crimes and are headed to prison. FPC teaches future inmates the skills they need to survive in prison. The student based drug organization was so advanced it was known on the street as “The Outfit.” In February of 2001 Christie, his ex-wife, son, and daughter were taken into custody along with 23 other Hells Angels MC members and associates. The law enforcement investigation found that a large number of the prescription pills were coming from a member of the United States Air force through a 23 year old airman who worked as a purchasing clerk in a medical squadron at an air base in Los Angeles California. THE ONE PERCENTER Page 8 “COME IN PEACE OR LEAVE IN PIECES” In 1994 the Hells Angels MC started courting an OMG in Arizona known as the Dirty Dozen. The Dirty Dozen MC had been around for 25 years and was a club that in and of itself was just as dangerous as the Angels. At the time the Angels started negotiating with the Dozen, they had around 120 members spread out in Arizona. On October 16, 1997 the Hells Angels MC Cave Creek Chapter began its life. Cave Creek was a mixture of former Dirty Dozen MC members and HA members that transferred in from other states. Of the original 120 Dozen members that were in Arizona only around 60 actually started the process of becoming Angels. The Angels only kept the cream of crop when it came to the Dozen, and not all 60 that started the process moved on to become full patched Angels. One of those that did make the cut was Dirty Dozen MC Cave Creek Chapter President Daniel “Hoover” Seybert. Hoover stayed on as chapter president when the Dozen officially became Hells Angels. Due to Hoovers close association with Sonny who still is the voice of the Hells Angels MC worldwide the hit on Hoover was a bold move if it had been done so at the hands of his fellow Angels. Some in the Angels believe the hit came at the hands of the Federal Government. Rumors have stirred that Hoover was causing problems for the ATF Agents involved in Operation Black Biscuit, enough so that the Feds went black op’s and executed him with a well placed sniper shot, even going as far as planting a small caliber gun in his back pocket as it seems the case took off once Hoover was out of the way. Even with the rumor of the Feds whacking Hoover, the Angels went after a Mongols MC member two days later in Reno, Nevada stabbing him in the back. Many believe this was revenge for Hoover, but in this case the Mongols MC member lived. When Sonny Barger transferred into the Cave Creek Chapter in October 1998, he immediately took Hoover under his wing. Hoover who worked as a motorcycle mechanic opened a motorcycle shop with Sonny in North Phoenix and the two To date Hoovers homicide has never been solved and is sitting in the cold case files. HOOVER (FRONT LEFT) WITH SONNY (REAR RIGHT) became best of friends. Many referred to Hoover as Barger’s protégée. Hoover was respected by all who met him; this not only included his friends but even his enemies. Hoover had an extreme hatred for law enforcement and was one to vocalize his hatred every chance he could. On March 22, 2003 Hoover and a group of Angels exited a bar named Bridgett’s Last Laugh in Phoenix, Arizona. As the group of 25 or so Angels and associates started their bikes, Hoover slumped over his handle bars. Initially the group thought he had a heart attack, until they noticed a small hole in his forehead. The Angels claimed that Hoover had been shot by a Mongols MC sniper, but the autopsy report showed that Hoover was shot at close range by a small caliber handgun which was located during the investigation in Hoovers back pocket. None of the Angels or associates on hand which included Hoovers girlfriend who was seated behind Hoover on his motorcycle saw or heard anything. Many have speculated that the hit on Hoover came at the hands of Hells Angels MC members who felt that Hoover had become too powerful and because at this time in Arizona there a power struggle going on within the Arizona Angels. “COME IN PEACE OR LEAVE IN PIECES.” When the Hells Angels MC first met with the Arizona based Dirty Dozen MC the members of the Dozen assigned to the meeting arrived wearing tshirts that said “Come in Peace of Leave in Pieces,” the Dozen themselves were just as dangerous as the Hells Angels MC and there was no doubt if the meeting went sideways it would have effected both gangs for a long time after. Of course it went well and the Dozen was retired a while later and became the Arizona based Hells Angels MC. Volume 2, Issue 14 Page 9 Policeman dismissed in 2009 sues city in federal court Don Spatz Reading Eagle Published: 6/8/2011 Fired Reading police Officer Mark S. Groff has sued the city in federal court, claiming that what the city called illegal fraternization with the Pagans motorcycle club was really just negotiations that got the Pagans to stop beating up members of his club. Groff is seeking to get back his job, more than $150,000 and punitive damages against Chief William M. Heim. Heim said the suit contains only Groff's side of the case, but declined to comment further. Backed by City Council, Heim fired Groff in June 2009 for repeatedly fraternizing with the Pagans while he was offduty, violating a contract clause that bans police from associating with a felon or someone with a reputation for criminal behavior. Groff also was accused of alcohol abuse and lying during the internal affairs probe. Groff joined the police force in 2005 and in 2009 was receiving a salary of $59,096, which ended at the firing. He filed a grievance to protest the firing, but an arbitrator ruled in the city's favor in March 2010. In his suit filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, Groff said he was a member of the Leathernecks motorcycle club, consisting of honorably discharged Marine veterans. He said Leathernecks officials asked him to meet with the Pagans because they had been assaulting Leathernecks. The assaults stopped, he said. He said his police supervisors were aware of his efforts, but didn't warn him he was doing anything wrong. After he was fired, he won jobless benefits when a state unemployment board ruled that any contact he had with the Pagans was incidental and didn't violate city policies. http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=313101 Former Officer Mark Goff Volume 2, Issue 14 Page 10 On June 19, 2011 The rock band Motley Crue played the USAANA amphitheater in West Valley City Utah. A unknown party contacted the amphlethetor prior to the concert and purchased tickets for one of the suites. This party informed the ticket agent that members of the Hells Angels MC would be attending the concert and wanted them to be taken care of. The concert came and went and the Angels were either a no show, or they stayed very quit as they were not observed in cuts/colors. The only OMG member in attendance was a Bandido Prospect named William Daniel Asay, DOB 11-12-1985 A.K.A. “Danny.” Danny is a die hard Motley Crue fan, having tattooed “Shout At The Devil” across his chest. Shout a the Devil is the name of a song by Motley Crue. Danny was first identified as a Bandido Prospect in January 2011.
