Hells Angels Trial To Continue

Jury selection continues today in the trial of eight Hells Angels accused of beating rival gang members at a downtown Las Vegas wedding chapel. The Nevada Supreme Court yesterday turned down an effort to delay the trial.  Defense lawyers claimed District Attorney Steve Wolfson had a conflict of interest by representing one of the defendants before he became DA. The eight Hells Angels are charged with attacking members of the rival Mongols gang at the Special Memory chapel in December 2008.

U.N. gangsters plead guilty to cocaine trafficking

Two United Nations (U.N.) gang members pleaded guilty to cocaine trafficking Wednesday after being busted more than two years ago in an undercover sting. U.N. gang co-founder Douglas Vanalstine, 52, and Daryl Johnson, 33 of Abbotsford, met with an undercover police officer several times in 2009 and exchanged a $100,000 downpayment for 100 kilos of fake cocaine. They were arrested in November of that year. Jarrod Bacon, one of the notorious Bacon brothers, and gangster Wayne Scott were also collared during the same investigation. Bacon is serving 12 years in prison, while Scott is still awaiting his sentence.
