LEESBURG — Police on Wednesday arrested two men they believe were involved in a deadly shootout between rival motorcycle clubs during Leesburg Bikefest last month.

Police also have warrants for Miquel Angel Torres, 37, and Gregory Alan Umphress, 32, for conspiracy to commit murder and kidnapping in the April 29 shooting death of David Russell James Donovan, 40, of Homosassa.

Torres is also wanted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in an unrelated incident.

All of the men reportedly belong to the Outlaws. Police say they took Donovan to the side of a Circle K convenience store, threw him to the ground and beat him, then shot him.

More Twin Peaks bikers file civil lawsuits

Submitted by THUMPERRRR on Tue, 05/16/2017 - 7:12am

Twenty members of the Bandidos motorcycle group who were arrested after the May 17, 2015, Twin Peaks shootout in Waco have joined the ranks of bikers who have filed civil rights lawsuits in an Austin federal court.

All 20 were among 155 indicted in the incident and claim they were unlawfully arrested and held under excessive bonds.

“The mass arrests were unprecedented in both their scope and the complete absence of individual, particularized facts to establish probable cause,” the suit alleges. “This suit seeks to correct the miscarriage of justice and assault on the United States Constitution perpetrated by these defendants.”

Hells Angels member rendered unconscious in police takedown acquitted of assault

Submitted by THUMPERRRR on Mon, 05/15/2017 - 9:45pm

KITCHENER — A member of the Hells Angels rendered unconscious in a takedown by two Waterloo Regional Police officers wound up being charged with assaulting one of them.

But a judge ruled earlier this month that if Paul Geil took a swing at Const. Wesley Errey, he had a "lawful excuse" after the off-duty officer grabbed his arm.

The judge also concluded Errey and Const. David Gilker, an on-duty officer, did not intend to injure Geil.

All three charges against Geil — assault, impaired driving and driving with more than the legal limit of alcohol — were dismissed.

Latest shooting violence not on us, says Soul Brothers Motorcycle Club

Submitted by THUMPERRRR on Thu, 05/11/2017 - 6:51pm

The Soul Brothers Motorcycle Club took issue Thursday with allegations that the group was responsible for a weekend shooting incident at a Fresno Motel 6 in which three people were wounded.

Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said Wednesday that shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday multiple people began firing weapons in the motel parking lot at Olive and Crystal avenues. Three people were wounded and taken to a hospital by a party bus. The shooting happened as hundreds of motorcyclists from Northern and Southern California were in town, part of a “halfway run,” event. Motorcycle clubs come to Fresno every spring and fall in the events, which have been taking place for decades.

Eric Duarte, president of the Merced chapter of the Soul Brothers, said “We had nothing (going on) on Olive and (Highway) 99. Absolutely nothing.
