Submitted by THUMPERRRR on Thu, 09/05/2019 - 6:50am

FAIRMONT —Bail has been reduced for the third man who was taken into custody on charges in connection with a fight between two motorcycle clubs that occurred on Aug. 3 at the BFS Foods convenience store in White Hall.

Court records show bail for Jason “Jay Bird” Harris, 49, of Fairmont, was reduced from $1,000,012 to $750,000 during his recent preliminary hearing before Marion County Magistrate William T. Holmes in Fairmont.

Harris, who was taken into custody Aug. 23 without incident at an acquaintance's residence in Fairmont, was wanted by the White Hall Police Department for attempted murder and conspiracy to commit a felony.

He waived his preliminary hearing and the charges were bound over Sept. 3 to Marion County Circuit Court, according to court records.

Oakland’s East Bay Dragons marks 60th year

(photo gallery) --- OAKLAND — Willie Harper still remembers the first time he saw the East Bay Dragons — then an emerging motorcycle club — roll through the streets of West Oakland.

It was around 1960. Four Dragons rode by on matching black-framed Harley Davidson choppers — so called because they had been stripped of any unnecessary parts, brought down to the bare frame with only the tank, headlight and motor. The bikes’ shiny chrome finish stood out against bright paint, each a different color. The men riding them had on polished boots and Levi jackets, blue jean pants and matching striped motorcycle helmets, Harper said.

When the dust cleared on the criminal charges against them, 20 members of the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club stood accused of wrongdoing.

On Tuesday, the last of those Kingsmen was sentenced, ending a murder and conspiracy case that for years captured the public's attention.

Timothy Enix, second in charge of the organization, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the killings of fellow Kingsmen Daniel "DJ" Szymanski and Paul Maue.

"The fact is you were the leader of a violent motorcycle gang," U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford told Enix. "The reality is you were involved in organized crime and you were intimately involved in it."
