NASHVILLE – James Hines, 47, one of eighteen members and associates of the Clarksville chapter of the Mongols Motorcycle Club who were federally prosecuted for RICO conspiracy, murder, kidnapping, large-scale drug trafficking, money laundering, and other crimes, was sentenced to 10 years and 10 months in federal prison today, announced Henry C. Leventis, United States Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee. All of the defendants’ crimes stemmed from their involvement with the Clarksville Mongols. Hines was the last remaining defendant to be sentenced.

“Today’s sentence concludes a multi-year, coordinated effort by federal, state, and local law enforcement, our office, and the Justice Department’s Criminal Division to address some of the worst organized criminal activity we have seen in Middle Tennessee,” said Henry C. Leventis, United States Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee. “As a result of that outstanding work, our communities are safer and multiple violent criminals are being held to account for their actions. I am grateful for the efforts of everyone involved in this remarkable investigation and prosecution.”  

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, the Clarksville Mongols were a violent motorcycle gang affiliated with the Mongols Motorcycle Club, an international organization that identifies as an “outlaw” motorcycle gang, meaning its members define themselves as within the “1%” of motorcycle clubs who do not adhere to the law or the rights of others. Sayings like, “Respect Few, Fear None” and “Live Mongol Die Mongol” represent their cut-throat attitude and they identify themselves with vests, patches, tattoos, and insignia identifying their connection to the Mongols.
