(UK) Three-year driving ban for 138mph biker pensioner

A 70-year-old biker who led police on a 138mph chase through Angus has avoided a jail sentence.

Peter Elliot Farquhar, who held an unblemished licence for more than 50 years, was banned from driving for three years at Arbroath Sheriff Court on Tuesday.

Sheriff Peter Paterson sentenced the retired painter to 150 hours’ community service — the same fate as his co-accused Roy Buick McPhee, 51, who was banned for three-and-a-half years.

Farquhar, of Cairnie Crescent, Arbroath, and McPhee, of the town’s Brechin Road, previously admitted driving dangerously at 138mph in a 60mph zone on March 31 last year on the A933 Brechin to Arbroath Road at Montreathmont.

They also admitted failing to stop when requested to do so by a police officer, and Farquhar further admitted driving dangerously at speeds of up to 100mph within a 30mph zone on Kirkton Road, Arbroath.

McPhee admitted driving dangerously at speeds of up to 100mph on Kirkton Road, Cairnie Street, Stobcross, Wellgate, Robert Street, Spink Street and Helen Street.

Officers reported overtaking cars towing caravans, a fire engine and tractors as they pursued the reckless riders.

Appearing for both men, defence agent Anne McKeown said they regretted their actions.

She added: “Mr Farquhar is a first offender as far as his driving record is concerned and he passed his test at the age of 16 some 54 years ago. He accepts full responsibility for his actions and his stupidity.”

Ms McKeown told the court that McPhee’s father had died since his last court appearance.

She said: “His mother is now inevitably going to be more dependant on him than ever.”

Farquhar, McPhee and a group of six friends, all in their sixties and seventies, were on their way back from a weekend ride to Braemar on the day of the offence.

The court previously heard how the group came out of the woods at Montreathmont and Farquhar and McPhee broke away as they got on the 60mph A933.

Police were carrying out speed checks around 1.50pm when they saw the bikes travelling clearly in excess of the limit. Both men were clocked by a laser gun at 138mph and failed to respond to police attempts to get them to stop.

Officers gave chase but the bikes were lost to sight by the time they reached Colliston, still travelling in excess of 100mph.

It was not until they reached Cairnie Loan that Farquhar pulled up and McPhee was later apprehended.

(AUS) Man fears bikie jailhouse paybacks

LAWYERS for a man accused of chopping the arm of a notorious bikie with a samurai sword will make an urgent bail application to the Supreme Court, fearing he will face reprisals from gang members in jail.

Pouria Jadidi, 30, of Labrador, was refused bail when he fronted Southport Magistrates Court yesterday charged with grievous bodily harm and acts intended to maim, disfigure or disable.

Not even a hefty $50,000 surety could secure his freedom.

Jadidi's barrister, Chris Rosser, will file a bail application with the Supreme Court, asking for Magistrate Michael Hogan's ruling to be overturned because his client faced severe retribution in jail by Nomad outlaw motorcycle gang members.

Jadidi allegedly used the samurai sword to slice the arm, down to the bone, of Nomad bikie Daniel Watson during a confrontation at Labrador in the early hours of last Tuesday morning.

It is understood 25-year-old Mr Watson's injuries are so severe surgeons are considering amputating his arm.

The court was told Jadidi grabbed his sword because he thought Mr Watson had a firearm when he turned up at his Labrador home at midnight last week.

Police Prosecutor Damian Summerfield opposed bail saying Jadidi would face reprisals if he was released.

"If he is given bail, he will flee the jurisdiction because reprisals are very likely and if he stays, we would have concerns about his welfare," said Mr Summerfield.

"It is very likely repercussions would follow this serious act of violence."

However, Mr Rosser argued his client would face an even greater threat in jail where bikie networks ran deep.

"Given the victim is a Nomad, jail is not a safe place for him. He would probably be more safe on the streets," Mr Rosser said.

He was remanded in custody to reappear on May 2.

(USA) Santa Cruz judge grants Hells Angel member more time as he battles charges from shootout in Sparks casino

SANTA CRUZ -- A judge on Monday reluctantly granted a defense request to delay the sentencing of a Hells Angel member arrested on gun charges in Santa Cruz in 2011 and arrested later that year in a high-profile shootout and slaying in a Sparks, Nev., casino.

Cesar Villagrana, 37, of Gilroy, was arrested by local officers after an accident on Soquel Drive in Aptos on St. Patrick's Day in 2011, when he crashed his Harley-Davidson and a handgun spilled onto the road, prosecutors said.

Villagrana was arrested about six months later after a shootout in John Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks on Sept. 24, 2011. Jeffrey Pettigrew, the 51-year-old leader of the San Jose Hells Angel chapter, was killed in the shooting.

Nevada prosecutors claim Villagrana shot into the crowd during the melee between rival Hells Angels and Vagos motorcycle gang members during a weekend biker festival, striking a rival in the leg.

Villagrana has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and his trial is set for July 22, in Reno. His attorney in that case has said Villagrana was shooting to protect himself and Pettigrew.

Also charged in the Nevada case is Ernesto Gonzalez, the reported president of the Vagos chapter in Nicaragua. He has pleaded not guilty to the slaying.

The casino slaying sparked another melee on Oct. 15, 2011, at Pettigrew's funeral service in San Jose, when Steve Tausan -- a sergeant-at-arms for the Santa Cruz chapter of the Hells Angels -- was gunned down and killed in front of stunned mourners amid a heavy police presence. Steve Ruiz, 38, was arrested in February 2012 at a Fremont motel in connection with the funeral slaying.

THE LATEST SANTA CRUZ HEARING

Villagrana came to court in Santa Cruz on Monday with a dark-haired woman and another man and his attorney, Vic Vertner of San Jose. Villagrana wore jeans and a black button-down shirt and black work-boot-style shoes. The woman sitting beside him clutched a black purse in her lap as Vertner and Villagrana stood before Santa Cruz County Superior Court Judge Ariadne Symons requesting more time before Villagrana must begin serving his jail time in Santa Cruz.

Vertner asked Symons to delay sentencing until after Villagrana's trial in Reno in July. Villagrana in December pleaded guilty to possessing an unlisted firearm in exchange for an expected four-month jail sentence, Santa Cruz court officials said.

Symons made it clear Monday that she does not want the jail time to be swallowed up by any sentence from the Nevada shooting.
She said she didn't believe Vertner had specifically asked that the sentencing come after the Nevada trial.

"Don't interrupt me," she told Vertner at one point. "After the plea, you asked for a continuance ... but serving time concurrent with the Nevada case was not part of the agreement."

A short time later, Symons concluded she would allow one more continuance. She said she was considering the Nevada case, calling it very important.

"I'm not going to do it again," she warned, telling Villagrana to come to court and surrender on Aug. 19.

"Thank you, your honor," he said.

"Good luck to you on your Nevada matters," she replied.

Outside court, Villagrana declined comment.

Symons had issued a $100,000 warrant for Villagrana in October, after he failed to appear in Santa Cruz.

PRE-TRIAL MOTIONS IN RENO

According to the Associated Press, Washoe County District Court Judge Connie Steinheimer told attorneys during pre-trial hearings March 12 not to use the word "gang" or "club" to describe either group, as it might taint jurors' opinions and result in an unfair trial.

"From now on, no gangs, no clubs," the judge ruled during a hearing for the joint trial of Villagrana and Gonzalez.
"Our position is they are the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. It's not arguing the case. That is their name," defense attorney Richard Schonfeld said.

Washoe County Assistant district attorney Karl Hall said the gang element is necessary to prove additional penalties as part of a criminal "gang enhancement" under Nevada law.

Meanwhile, defense attorneys have asked the judge to relax what they say is an exaggerated security presence in and around the courtroom that could potentially impact the jury's outlook. The judge said she'd take that and other motions under advisement.

(CAN) Being a Hells Angel could mean no bar licence, appeal court rules

The Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled a bar owner can be denied a liquor licence simply because he is a member of the Hells Angels.

On Monday, the court ordered the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario’s board to reconsider its decision not to revoke the liquor licence of Robert Barletta, 43, a full patch Hells Angel.

It overturned a Divisional Court ruling upholding the board’s refusal to lift Barletta’s liquor licence for his London, Ont., strip club, Famous Flesh Gordon’s, which he has run since 2001.

“Perhaps understandably, the board viewed this as a test case,” said Justice Stephen Goudge, writing for the three-judge appeal court panel.

Barletta was a founding member of the Hells Angels’ London chapter in 2003, and was its president at least until 2008, Goudge said.

The Hells Angels is a criminal organization under Canadian law, although being a member is not a crime, Goudge wrote.

In 2010, the commission’s registrar asked the board to strip Barletta of his licence, arguing his Hells Angels membership was, in itself, sufficient reason to believe he could not operate the bar legally and with integrity.

But the board allowed him to keep his licence, noting he has no criminal record and has run Flesh Gordon’s with no “hint of impropriety.”

The registrar appealed the board’s ruling to Divisional Court, which upheld it. The registrar appealed again to the court of appeal.

The appeal court backed the registrar, finding the board applied an erroneously high standard of proof — a “balance of probabilities” — to determine whether Barletta would operate the bar against the public interest.

Instead the board should have applied the much less onerous test — whether there are “reasonable grounds for belief,” Goudge wrote.

But Goudge did not agree with the registrar that membership in the Hells Angels should in itself automatically be grounds to revoke his licence.

He ordered the board to the hear matter again.

The case will actually be reheard by the province’s Licence Appeal Tribunal, which took over the board’s adjudicative responsibilities in 2011.

Barletta was recently charged with committing a criminal offence for the benefit of a criminal organization and conspiracy to commit bookmaking in connection with the Platinum SportsBook Super Bowl party in Markham.

(AUS) Rebel motorcycle gang members face tax offence charges

SEVERAL members of the Rebels bikie gang in South Australia are among the 30 nationally who are being prosecuted for tax offences.

Senior police have revealed more than $1.4 million in unpaid tax has so far been recovered from 82 individuals and entities associated with the Rebels.

Conducted as part of the Attero national taskforce, the blitz is also targeting another 117 members who have outstanding tax returns for compliance action.

The taskforce has so far found more than 280 members or businesses associated with Rebels members that have tax debts ranging from $1000 to $1.93 million that have now been subject to debt collection action.

Attero national commander Detective Superintendent John DeCandia said the blitz - which was revealed in the Sunday Mail last month - would continue as part of police efforts to disrupt and dismantle the criminal activity of the Rebels business model.

"As money is the lifeblood of organised crime, we are also looking at non-traditional ways of disrupting the Rebels business model by understanding their money flow and ensuring they comply with their tax obligations just like every other Australian is expected to do," he said.

"Suspicious income of known criminals can be targeted by the Task Force through the tax system when it inevitably reappears in the legitimate economy."

The Attero taskforce has so far resulted in the arrest or report of more than 500 people on more than 700 charges ranging from violence related offences including serious assault, stalking, kidnapping and affray to a range of firearms and weapons offences, drug offences, property, street and traffic offences.

More than 300 premises have been searched and police have seized more than 40 firearms, as well as other weapons including knuckledusters, tasers, a set of throwing stars, machetes, illegal knives and batons, and drugs including amphetamines, cannabis, ecstasy and steroids.

(AUS) Police raid Bandidos clubhouse

Police have raided an outlaw motorcycle gang clubhouse in Geelong as part of their crackdown on bikies.

Echo Taskforce detectives found a small amount of illicit drugs at the Bandidos' clubhouse in the eastern suburb of Breakwater.

Detectives were also raiding another premises connected to the Bandidos.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said no arrests had been made and the investigation was continuing.

The raids come after new state laws were brought in to target bikies, and police took the extraordinary step of warning the public against the possibility of a full scale bikie war.

The anti-association laws were introduced to State Parliament in November but were not active until they were proclaimed last week.

Fairfax Media reported on Monday that the delay was to allow police to plan how they would use the new laws, which have become even more pertinent with the spate of bikie-related violence across Melbourne over the past fortnight, including the shooting of Bandidos enforcer Toby Mitchell.

A falling out between Mitchell and Lebanese members of the Bandidos has sparked fears of a war between the gang and the Hells Angels. Several Lebanese crime figures associated with the Bandidos are believed to have been recruited by the Hells Angels after clashing with Mitchell.

It is believed that more than 100 bikies from various clubs met in January to discuss a possible response to the laws.

But a police spokeswoman said: "The Act is not just aimed at outlaw motorcycle gangs, it is also aimed at any groups or individuals involved in serious criminal activity."

Once an organisation is declared illegal, the court can then make control orders banning members of that group from associating or participating in gang activities, including riding together and wearing their club colours and emblems.

Individuals who breach a control order will face up to five years' jail and organisations can be fined up to $400,000 and have assets confiscated.

Police have set up Operation Resound to tackle the escalating violence between rival outlaw motorcycle gangs in Victoria.

Detectives swooped on several properties in Melbourne's outer northern suburbs this month, making seven arrests, and vowing that raids targeting bikies would continue.

(AUS) Bikie laws hit road-block

CHANGES designed to abolish the "cone of silence" that has hindered police in their war on outlaw bikie gangs have struck a political road-block in NSW.

A push by the NSW Coalition government to wind back the right of alleged offenders to refuse to speak to police now appears doomed in the state upper house, where the government does not have a majority.

The laws could founder on the opposition of the minority Shooters & Fishers Party, which has joined with the Greens and Labor to block the proposed new limits on the right to silence.

Under the changes, judges and juries could draw a "negative inference" if a defendant used in court evidence he or she had withheld from police when questioned in the presence of a lawyer.

NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson said: "Abolishing the right to silence would contradict the most basic legal principle of innocence until proven guilty.

"This is bad policy that should have never been introduced in the first place."

Upper house Greens MP David Shoebridge said solicitors would simply refuse to attend their clients' interviews with police to prevent the triggering of the "negative inference" provisions.

A spokesman for the Shooters said the laws "won't crack down on criminals -- it will crack down on everyone in the state".

(USA) O'BRIEN: Jury sends message with biker club verdict

Adams County State's Attorney Jon Barnard wasn't kidding when he addressed the jury for the first time last week during the robbery trial of Joseph. E. Teel Jr. of Barry.

"This isn't like the shows you see on TV," Barnard said. "It isn't going to be done in an hour."

By the time deliberations wrapped up early Friday night, the jury had spent nearly the entire week in the Adams County Courthouse. Prospective jurors waited around all day Tuesday as a jury was seated. The state put on its case Wednesday and Thursday, resting just before lunch Friday. Had Teel's defense attorney, Riff Scholz, presented any defense witnesses or evidence, the trial no doubt would have spilled into this week.

It was an interesting case, one fit for a "Law & Order" episode. Biker club vs. biker club, with the president of one club's freedom hanging in the balance. The arrest of Teel and three of his fellow Midwest Percenters drew headlines and led local television newscasts. It was like the TV show "Sons of Anarchy" had decided to film an episode in the Gem City. This was no TV drama though. What happened was real.

On May 20, two members of the Tunnel Rats motorcycle club were confronted by several members of the Midwest Percenters near downtown Quincy. According to testimony presented at trial, the Percenters claimed the Tunnel Rats members cruised past a motorcycle rally that was being held at a Broadway restaurant and "flipped off" the Percenters.

The Percenters didn't take too kindly to the gesture and let them know about it. The Tunnel Rats members said they were caught by members of the Percenters and stopped at the intersection of 12th and Hampshire.

"This isn't a (expletive) game," Percenter member Timothy E. "Gramps" Jackson allegedly yelled at the Tunnel Rats. "We'll (expletive) kill you. Give us your (expletive) cuts."

"Cuts" are the vests that members of motorcycle clubs wear. They are prized possessions. The Tunnel Rats, penned in by Percenters, didn't have much of a choice but to give up their cuts.

"Take them off, or I'll blow your (expletive) head off," Teel allegedly screamed at the Tunnel Rats while pointing a gun at the head of one of the bikers.

Since there was no gun found, the armed robbery charge came down to a "he said, he said" situation. Neither Teel nor any of the other Percenters took the stand. The jury found the testimony from the victims to be credible.

As a result, Teel was found guilty on all three charges -- armed robbery, aggravated robbery and robbery -- and could be imprisoned for up to 30 years when he's sentenced by Judge Mark Drummond on May 29. Jackson, Zane E. Liggett and Gerald R. Utterback are scheduled to go on trial for their roles in the incident.

Barnard commended the victims for not backing down.

"There is a lot of terror that goes in the motorcycle cult about not talking," he said. "They came forward and risked the consequences. They stood up, endured a lot of frustrating questions and said what happened."

The jurors sent a message with their verdict.

"You don't impose your will on someone in the middle of an intersection in broad daylight in this community," Barnard said. "This verdict puts an exclamation point on that. This is a victory for the community."

(CAN) London Hells Angel Rob Barletta faces new hearing on strip club license

Ontario's highest court has ruled a lower court and tribunal made errors in law when considering whether a Hells Angels member can run a London bar, and has ordered a new hearing.

That means the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) will get another chance to pull the liqour licence from Rob Barletta for his Famous Flesh Gordon's strip club.

It also means the province will get another chance to gain a precedent-setting ruling in a larger scale battle to prevent outlaw bikers from owning businesses.

There's no date set for the new hearing, which will be held by the liquor appeal tribunal.

The Ontario Court of Appeal decision, released Monday, ruled that a tribunal and divisional court applied a higher level of proof than necessary when determining if Barletta's connections to a criminal organization were reasonable grounds to believe he'd operate his business improperly.

However the court fell short of saying that revoking Barletta's licence is the only conclusion the lower court and tribunal should have reached, based on the man's connections.

Courts have ruled the Hells Angels is a criminal organization, and Ontario's Liquor Licence Act bars anyone from getting a licence if their "past or present conduct" suggests they won't carry on business with "integrity and honesty."

Since 2009, the AGCO has tried to yank Barletta's licence, based on that law.

Barletta has acknowledged he's a full-patch member of the Hells Angels and a former president of the London chapter.

But Barletta's lawyers have argued the mere fact the man is a member of the Hells Angels isn't proof he's breaching the liquor act.

Barletta has owned the business for 10 years without breaking any laws and himself has no criminal record, his lawyers said.

In 2011, the AGCO's own board ruled Barletta wasn't doing anything wrong, as far as the strip club was concerned.

The AGCO appealed that decision to Ontario divisional court, but lost.

That sent the matter to the Ontario Appeal court.

(USA) Rob Dyrdek Settles Legal Battle With Hells Angels

Skateboarder-turned-reality star Rob Dyrdek has settled his lawsuit with the Hells Angels motorcycle club.

Hells Angels bosses filed a lawsuit against Dyrdek Enterprises Inc. and the Young and Reckless, a clothing company run by the star's cousin Chris "Drama" Pfaff, last year, claiming the pair stole their flaming skull logo and plastered it on T-shirts without their permission.

Nevertheless, now both parties have come to an undisclosed agreement after settling out of court.

According to documents obtained by TMZ.com, the case was dismissed in California on March 7th.

(USA) Five injured in brawl between motorcycle gangs

PHILIPSTOWN – Authorities continue to investigate a brawl in which five men sustained multiple injuries. The Friday night incident was a result of a fight involving what police believe to be rival motorcycle gangs.

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office was called to a fight involving some 30 people at 2741 Route 9 in Philipstown in a building that once housed Post Road Hardware Store and was now being leased as a clubhouse to members of the Old Bones Motorcycle Club.

Sheriff’s deputies and investigators responded and determined the clubhouse was occupied by members of the Old Bones Motorcycle Club for a meeting when several people barged in armed with axe handles and baseball bats.

Five members were assaulted by the intruders, sustaining serious injuries after being struck by the weapons. They were transported by ambulances to Saint Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie and Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla.

No arrests were made as of Saturday afternoon, but the investigation is continuing.

(AUS) Outlaw bikie clubs Hells Angels and Bandidos hold peace talks in Melbourne

EXCLUSIVE: FEUDING outlaw motorcycle clubs, the Hells Angels and Bandidos, have held peace talks in Melbourne, raising hopes that a bikie war could be averted after the attempted murder of Bandidos sergeant-at-arms Toby Mitchell.

The Australian has learnt that Mr Mitchell, accompanied by a group of senior Bandidos, met their Hells Angels counterparts in West Melbourne in recent days.

The group initially met at a Victoria Street cafe then moved their meeting to a cafe across the road. Onlookers said the meeting was tense but ended without violence.

(AUS) Bandidos bikie in court on perjury charge regarding murder

A BANDIDOS bikie lied to a secretive Crime and Misconduct hearing about his involvement in an unsolved shooting murder last year, a court has heard.

Jack Lee was gunned down at the suburban Warrigal Shopping Centre, at Eight Mile Plains just south of Brisbane, last April.

Exhaustive investigations, including the powers of the CMC, have not yet charged those responsible but details of the drug-related crime were revealed in a court case on Monday.

Marko Cokara, 22, fronted the Brisbane District Court charged with perjury for allegedly lying in a CMC hearing about being at the murder scene and a mobile phone used in the crime.

Crown prosecutor Philip McCarthy said murder victim Jack Lee had been at the shopping centre on April 12, 2012, to purchase $17,000 worth of cocaine.

Mr McCarthy said Cokara was identified as one of two men, also suspects in the murder investigation, in a silver BMW where the shot that killed Mr Lee came from.

A man who organised the drug transaction had given Mr Lee a specific phone number to call, which police later linked to Cokara.

The phone number was used to organise a meeting between Mr Lee and another man involved in the botched drug deal.

"During the drug transaction Lee was shot once in the head," Mr McCarthy told the court.

The CMC was involved in the murder investigation, which was linked to members of the Bandidos Outlaw Motorcycle Club.

Cokara gave evidence in a CMC hearing in June, 2012, when he denied he used the mobile phone in the drug deal or was even at the shopping centre when the murder occurred.

But the court heard police had intercepted messages Cokara sent to his girlfriend and mother from the phone.

Defence barrister Mal Harrison argued Cokara, who moved to Australia from Bosnia in 1997, was led to perjure him because of "certain acquaintances".

"One can only imagine there would be one part of him wanting to protect himself..." he said.

Judge Brad Farr, SC, said perjury struck at the heart of the criminal justice system.

He sentenced Cokara to two years and three months in jail but set a parole release date on April 11, 2013.
