On Bond in Fourth District Court

Mark “Ivan” Lester and Kenneth “Kenny” Foster were released late Monday night, January 11, 2010, represented by Attorney A. Philip Lomonaco and Attorney Mike Ritter. The bond was made by A1 Bonding Company, Sandy Clark. They were brought to the court house Monday morning to a courtroom filled with friends, family, business owners, and military in support of the two men. Judge Patricia Long lowered the bond from 3 million each, which was placed by Judge Swan on December 31, 2009, New Year’s Eve.

The charges in this case are brought with anger and retaliation against the Defendants and this emotion was obviously evidenced in the high bonds. Judge Swan is a divorce court Judge. There are 8 local criminal Judges who sit on the bench and a Judicial Commissioner is on duty 24/7 to sign warrants. Sheriff J.J. “Jimmy” Jones, knowing that not one of the 8 local criminal Judges or Judicial Commissioners would sign these grossly, unreasonable bonds, as well as, the arrest and search warrants; then back doored the system and went to Judge Swan to invoke the warrants with the 3 million dollar bonds. The General Sessions Court Judges are familiar with the criminal court process and know that bonds are set to ensure the defendants appearance in court and are NOT to punish citizens accused of crimes and deliberately damage the Defendants job status and family.

A TERRITORY bikie has been charged after he was allegedly caught with firearms, including a Taser stun gun, during a raid in a Territory town.

Police have charged Finks Motorcycle Club prospect Michael Caola, 39, with firearms offences after a raid on his Alice Springs property recently.

Officers from the Major Crime Taskforce Special Operations Section swooped on Mr Caola's property two weeks ago.

They allegedly found a .44 magnum hand gun, Taser stun gun and pepper spray.

Mr Caola was charged with weapons offences. He was bailed to appear in the Alice Springs Magistrates Court in March.

Mr Caola's arrest is the latest in a string of charges against bikie-gang members in the NT since former Commissioner Paul White announced extreme measures were needed to combat the gangs.

"We've done a lot of work in recent times in relation to bikies such as the Hells Angels motorcycle club and the Finks - we believe we have them under control.

"But it is a constant challenge and we don't want their footprint to grow."

Police lend support to motorcycle event

Police will be showing support for a Motorcycle Ride to Work Day planned for Palmerston North on Friday (12 February) and are hoping to raise awareness of road safety issues.

The event has been organised by the Motor Trade Association following similar success events in Wellington and Gisborne.

The aim is for the increasing numbers of motorcycle and scooter commuters to celebrate their chosen form of transport and help promote safer riding practices.

A recent New Zealand study showed that the single most common cause (41%) or all motorcycle collisions involve vehicles pulling out in from of them. In Central District during 2009 seven motorcyclists and one moped rider were killed on the roads. One motorcyclist has already been killed this year in the District.

Dozens of Harley-Davidson engines fired up, and the roar of chrome exhaust pipes climbed to a deafening pitch Saturday Feb 6th at the Panhandle Motorcycle Society in West Pensacola.

At 1 p.m., more than 50 club members saddled up and headed out — but this wasn't just any Saturday afternoon ride. It was a ride for a cause.

Club members were riding across town to deliver five truckloads of supplies and a $700 donation to Heavenly Blessings Ministries on North T Street.

About 2 a.m. on Jan. 25, a fire ripped through the ministry's warehouse in Warrington.

The fire destroyed thousands of dollars in clothing, furniture and other donated, second-hand goods.

Investigators with the state fire marshal's office suspect arson, but there are no suspects in the case.

"Ninety percent of what was in that building was to help others," ministry Pastor Renee Allan said.

Motorcycle club members have collected donations for the ministry in the past, and after hearing about the fire, they decided to hold an unscheduled charity ride to benefit the ministry.

"Since it burned down, we just got together and said, 'Since we've been sponsoring them, we're going to do something for them,' " said Henry Ezell, club manager.

Each rider paid $10 to participate, and after unloading the supplies at the ministry, club President Karl Murray presented Allan with a $700 check.

"Everybody looks at us like we're a bunch of ruffians, but these are just regular folks who are doing good stuff for the neighborhood," Murray said. "There's not one guy out here who doesn't do things for the community."

Allan thanked the riders for their help and likened the ministry to the mythical phoenix rising from the ashes.

"That's God's promise to this ministry: What we lost, we're going to multiply it back," Allan said. "We're not going to give up. We're not going to shut up. We're not going to sit down until I get to the gates of Heaven.
