IT'S tough to get a drink these days if you are a bling-loving bikie.

Bikies, already under fire from new get-tough laws, have been banned from 53 pubs, hotels, cocktail lounges and nightclubs stretching from Wollongong to The Entrance.

Not only are they not allowed into the bars if they are flaunting their leathers with gang colours, the strict licensing laws refuse them entry if they are wearing their trademark garish jewellery.

They love knuckleduster "1%" rings, flamboyant medallions hanging from thick gold chains and belt buckles the size of saucers depicting the club they belong to.

But if they want to raise a glass in any of the 53 drinking establishments, they have to dress down.

"No person wearing any form of clothing, jewellery or other accessory, displaying or indicating by form or wording, colour, logo, symbol or otherwise that they are members of or in any way associated with (named gangs) shall be allowed entry," licensing rules say.

The ex-owner of a failed West Reading tanning shop-cum-tattoo parlour said he had huge amounts of drugs in his Whitley home because he was “disorganised”.

Geral d Clifford claimed the amphetamines dated from his stint as a bodybuilder a decade ago.

Clifford, 55, from Blandford Road, is on trial at Reading Crown Court, after denying possessing about 32g of cocaine with intent to supply, one of possessing 680.4g of amphetamines with intent to supply and one of possessing 1,463.8g of cannabis with intent to supply.

Previously the court heard various drugs paraphernalia including a cocaine testing kit and a snorting pipe were discovered in his house.

Police also found £26,000 in 17 different locations in his home and nine wraps of cocaine in a pair of men’s dungarees.

The drugs were found in Clifford’s home on July 30 last year following a police raid. At the time of his arrest he was part-owner of Body Magic in Oxford Road.

Quebec provincial police have dismantled what they say is elaborate attempt by the Hells Angels to bully their way into the province’s bricklaying industry and use legitimate businesses for money-laundering.

The 10 arrests helped underscore the towering scale of an ongoing scandal in Quebec involving the construction industry’s criminal underbelly.

The arrests were completely separate from Operation Hammer, the high-profile probe into allegations of Mafia-related activity that have rocked the industry and the province’s political class.

This week’s arrests stemmed from an earlier probe into just one network, in just one criminal organization, the Hells Angels biker gang.

They came on the same day that the Quebec government announced new tendering rules for public contracts worth $25,000, and the province’s elections body announced a citizens’ forum aimed at toughening political fundraising laws.

The Salt Lake Tribune

A veteran Midvale police officer resigned Tuesday after he was cited for a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence following a four-car crash Halloween weekend.

Detective Sgt. John Salazar was off duty and driving an unmarked police Dodge Charger near Wallace Lane (2935 E.) and 4600 South in Holladay about 1 a.m. Sunday when he sideswiped a parked vehicle, said Midvale City Attorney Craig Hall.

Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Don Hutson said Salazar's car then struck a pickup truck, pushing it into a third car parked in a driveway. A woman who was a passenger in the car apparently lived nearby and walked home before police responded. No one was injured in the crash.

Midvale police and Salt Lake County sheriff's deputies arrived and smelled alcohol on Salazar, who was cooperative, Hutson said. Police gave several tests to Salazar, who was issued a citation but was not booked into jail.

VANCOUVER -- The Crown is seeking a six-year prison sentence for a Hells Angels member convicted of extortion and weapons offences.

Jean Violette was convicted by a jury last July at a trial of four Hells Angels members.

Violette was convicted of possessing two prohibited firearms — a loaded Beretta 20 semi-automatic pistol and a Ruger SP 101 revolver, with readily accessible ammunition.

The guns were found at Violette’s home, along with a bullet-proof vest.

“Body armour found in the same room suggests the guns weren’t used for target practice,” the prosecutor said.

Violette was also convicted of the extortion of Glen Louie, a North Vancouver drug dealer who was beaten for using the Hells Angels name without permission.

'Hoss' Workman of Buffalo turns against motorcycle gang

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Putnam County man admitted in federal court Thursday that he participated in a conspiracy to help protect the national vice president of the Pagans Motorcycle Club, who wouldn't carry a gun because he was a convicted felon.

Donnie Ray "Hoss" Workman, 35, of Buffalo, is the fifth of 55 defendants named in a sweeping, 44-count indictment to plead guilty. In the indictment, unsealed Oct. 6, federal prosecutors accuse the national motorcycle gang's members and associates of using violence and intimidation to control an organized criminal enterprise extending from New Jersey to Florida.

Several alleged members of the gang's governing council, or "Mother Club," including national president David K. "Bart" Barbeito of Myersville, Md., and vice president Floyd B. "Diamond Jesse" Moore of St. Albans, face racketeering charges.

Workman, a union ironworker, was a member of the Charleston chapter of the Pagans, which was part of territory overseen by Moore, according to court filings.

In a stipulation of facts agreed to as part of his plea deal, Workman admitted that he knew that Moore was a convicted felon. In February 2008, Workman heard Moore order Pagans members to get permits to carry concealed weapons, according to the stipulation.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Federal officials have released a statement in the Levelland meth bust that says major meth supply sources plead guilty in a case targeting members of a known outlaw motorcycle gang.

The statement reads: Two defendants named in a 110-count federal indictment returned in July 2009 that charged 28 defendants, including sheriff deputies and members of a motorcycle gang that is a support club of the Bandidos Outlaw Motorcycle Gang (OMG), pleaded guilty today, announced U.S. Attorney James T. Jacks of the Northern District of Texas.

David Lee Russell, 51, of Hughson, California, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine. Russell faces a maximum statutory sentence of not less than 10 years or more than life in prison and a $4 million fine; he will also be required to forfeit his 1999 Harley Davidson motorcycle to the government. Dennis Carl Hegwood, 54, of Modesto, California, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Hegwood faces a maximum statutory sentence of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine. U.S. District Judge Sam R. Cummings ordered a pre-sentence investigation report with sentencing to be scheduled after the completion of that report.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) ― Prosecutors have turned another member of the Pagans Motorcycle Club into a witness against the outlaw biker gang.

Donnie Ray "Hoss" Workman pleaded guilty Thursday as part of an agreement requiring him to cooperate with prosecutors. Workman's deal also requires testimony in a federal racketeering case targeting 55 Pagans leaders, members and associates from West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Florida of murder conspiracy, kidnapping and other charges.

As part of the deal, the government is dropping charges covering illegal bodyguarding, illegal firearms possession and conspiring to deal drugs.

Workman, a barrel-chested 35-year-old union ironworker, admitted to a single charge of conspiring to possess firearms while employed by a felon. The charge ties Workman to one of the lead defendants in the case, national Pagans vice president Floyd B. "Diamond Jesse" Moore of St. Albans.

The plea agreement says Workman admits obtaining a permit to carry a concealed weapon to guard Moore, a convicted felon barred from possessing firearms. Workman further admits taking a concealed weapon to Virginia with a group of Pagans under threat of "discipline" by Moore in June 2008.

The other conspiracy charge alleged Workman was dealing drugs with six Pagans and associates, including defendant Edward Parsons, who pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate earlier.

Workman faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he's sentenced in March.

He's the fifth defendant in the case to cut a plea agreement and agree to help prosecutors. Another defendant is scheduled to plead guilty next week, but court records don't indicate whether he has agreed to cooperate.

FAIRBANKS — An 81-year-old man was Tasered during a traffic stop last week.

It is the second time since 1998 that police have had to make a show of force during a traffic stop to arrest Glen M. Wilcox, a Fairbanks-based Episcopalian priest and real estate agent.

Court documents allege that officers with Eielson Air Force Base’s 354th Security Forces Squadron pulled Wilcox over just after 1 p.m. Wednesday for going 11 miles over the speed limit on the Richardson Highway.

An officer, identified as a senior airman in court documents, took Wilcox’s license, registration and proof of insurance and wrote him a traffic citation. When he returned to Wilcox’s car, Wilcox refused to accept the documents and sped down the highway, according to a criminal complaint filed in court.

Wilcox disputes that version of events.

“They waved to me and I thought that meant I could go on,” Wilcox said. “They stopped me again and told me to get out of my car.”

KINGMAN - A planned biker ride past four Kingman establishments is not the stereotypical angry gang out to terrorize the community.

Motorcycle riders are planning on riding Saturday afternoon past four bars or restaurants, which recently began a no colors policy. Colors are patches on a vest that identifies a biker's motorcycle club. Estimates are between 1,000 and 2,000 bikers throughout the state plan to ride past Chuy's Broiler, Cerbat Lanes, Sportsman Bar and Mad Dog's in Kingman.

Dan Balentine, president of the Desert Road Riders Motorcycle Club in Fort Mohave, said the ride is not an angry protest but a peaceful effort to educate the public that most bikers are not outlaws and wearing colors does not mean instant trouble.

Recent newspaper articles painted a negative picture of angry bikers ready to attack the bars, he said.

“There're probably a lot more cowboy fights in Kingman than biker fights,” he said.

KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) — Several hundred bikers are expected to roll into Kingman Saturday to protest a color barrier established at some local bars.

Members of the Arizona Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs don't like a recently instituted "no colors" policy at Kingman bars.

Club president Still Ray said that riders are being tagged as criminals or gang members because of their association with motorcycles.

"Colors" are considered any patch or insignia on a vest that would identify an affiliation with a particular motorcycle club.

The riders said they will be equipped with forms and will document any incidents in which they are turned away because of what they are wearing.

Kingman bar owners said they were aware of the planned biker visit.
