Bikers arrainged for ambush attack on Hells Angels
It took more than an hour, but more than two dozen men appeared in U.S. District Federal Court in Richmond yesterday to be arraigned on a variety of charges related to outlaw motorcycle gang activity in the region.
The men - standing before the judge one at a time, and being led into the courtroom in small groups - included Jack "Milwaukee Jack" Rosga - whom federal officials in indictments described as the group's national president and two local men Charles "Chuck" Barlow, 43, and Dennis "Chew Chew" Haldermann, 45 both from Chesterfield.
Barlow and Haldermann were listed in the indictments as alleged members of the allied Pagans Motorcycle Club. According to a federal indictment, the biker gang operated in Petersburg.

Quote from the article:
| Haldermann was charged in count three of the indictment - violent crimes in aid of racketeering activity. The indictment charges nine others with this offense, which involves an alleged assault against the Desparados Motorcycle Gang on or about March 14, 2009. The maximum penalty is 20 years in prison. Haldermann was one of two that appeared in court yesterday in civilian clothes instead of a prison jumpsuit because he is free on bond. According to the indictments, Outlaws and Pagans members set a trap and assaulted rival Hell's Angels and Desperados Motorcycle Club members at "Cockade Bar" - later confirmed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia to be Cockade City Grill. On March 14, 2009, three members went into the bar in "colors" - a vest signifying membership in the club. One man stood outside the bar in colors as a lure, while three other Outlaws members were waiting inside without the vests. Several others waited outside to trap rival bikers inside the bar, where they were assaulted. The fight spilled into the parking lot, where guns were drawn. Local police arrived and ended the standoff, the indictment says. They seized a knife and brass knuckles from one Outlaws member. Federal District Judge Henry Hudson warned Haldermann that he must abide by the release agreement and meet the next court date. Barlow was also one of the 10 charged with violent crimes in aid of racketeering activity for his alleged role in the assault against the Desperados Motorcycle Gang in March 2009. Petersburg appears to be at the center of much of the activity of the Outlaws outlined in the indictment. |
