Did this Thunderguards motorcycle club member pull a switchblade on a Fairfield NJ cop, or was he complying on bodycam when police took him to the ground?

Watch the Fairfield PD bodycam from the Two Bridges Road Harley stop and decide for yourself. A Thunderguards New Jersey member tells Cpl. Jeffrey Dean he has a knife, police order him to drop it, then the stop turns into a takedown after an off-duty Hackensack detective steps in from a nearby Wawa. Media calls it an armed outlaw biker pulling a switchblade on a cop. This video breaks down the bodycam, the Daily Voice write-up, the loaded Ruger .380 they say was in his waistband, and the charges: unlawful possession of a handgun, switchblade, gang criminality, aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, and tampering with public records.

If you ride, run in an MC, or watch motorcycle club bodycam videos, this is the kind of traffic stop that hits the biker scene every week. Search traffic is coming from people looking up outlaw biker switchblade NJ, Thunderguards bodycam, Fairfield police motorcycle stop, off-duty detective Wawa, and “did he really pull a knife on a cop.” That’s the question this breakdown answers with the footage, not the headline.
