KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – A former member of the Pagan’s Motorcycle Club will spend more than nine years in federal prison for two separate assaults involving rival motorcycle club members in the Kansas City metro.

Federal prosecutors say Mark A. Cottman, also known as “One Shot,” 51, of Kansas City, Missouri, was sentenced to 110 months in prison without parole. He was convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering, possession of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, and assault resulting in serious bodily injury in aid of racketeering.

The first assault happened Sept. 17, 2022, when prosecutors say Cottman and 12 other members of the Pagan’s and their support club, the Los Valerosos, chased a lone rival gang member and forced him off the road in Blue Springs, Missouri. Authorities say members of the group were armed with firearms and at least one axe handle. The victim was shot seven times, with wounds to his knee, thigh, forearm, biceps, buttocks and the back of his leg. Prosecutors say Cottman was a Pagan’s prospect at the time and later received his patch.
