Hells Angel member Jason Cyrus Arkinstall was arrested with Lawrence Edward Dwyer near Creston, B.C., by Royal Mounted Canadian Police and charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and drug smuggling.
In 2013 Arkinstall was charged in Spain with fellow Hells Angel member Chad Wilson for smuggling half a ton of cocaine into the country. They were convicted and returned to Canada. Wilson was shot to death in 2018.
