Eighteen members of a motorcycle club, including 16 Missouri men, were indicted in federal court this week in connection with a series of armed assaults on members of rival organizations. The men were all identified as members of the Pagan’s Motorcycle Club, which is classified by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as an outlaw motorcycle group. Rival organizations to the Missouri branch of the group include infamous biker group Hell’s Angels, along with the Outlaws, El Forastero, Galloping Goose, Sons of Silence and and Bandidos biker groups.
Each Pagan’s member is also known by a distinctive nickname. The indictment, unsealed Thursday, brings a combination of assault, firearm and racketeering charges against:
- Indian Motorcycle Fires Back in Escalating Rivalry with Harley-Davidson
- Motorcycle Club Profiling: The Unfair Targeting of Brotherhood and the Danger of Guilt by Association
- Two Sons of Silence MC Members Arrested for Vicious Car Theft Attack
- Harley-Davidson Brings Revolution Max Production Back Home: A Strategic Shift in American Manufacturing
