Thirty-one-year old Justin “Raw” Fite, a Kings Mountain-based member of the Pagans Motorcycle Club, was sentenced to 27 years in prison for armed drug trafficking, federal prosecutors said Friday.
On June 7, Fite pled guilty. He was among 20 defendants who were charged as part of “Operation Ice Diamond,” a law enforcement effort targeting the leader of the motorcycle club, Chirstopher Lamar Baker. Last week, Baker was sentenced to 75 years in prison for drug trafficking, firearm and money laundering.
The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Raleigh Police Department.
Fite and Baker both were involved in the club, which law enforcement says was a criminal enterprise that was active throughout the United States.
