Jurors get lesson in motorcycle gang etiquette at arson trial




Jurors in the Bad Water Bill's Bar-B-Q Barn arson trial were schooled in Pagan Motorcycle Club etiquette by a gang member who spent two hours testifying Thursday morning.
Pagan treasurer James Arthur "Art" Calhoun of White Post was a prosecution witness in the trial of William Wardell Welebir, 56, Port Richey, Fla., who is accused of torching the Strasburg restaurant in 2003.


Quote from the article:
Calhoun, 51, who was identified Wednesday as the owner of a Stephens City roadside inn that was a Pagans hangout, described Welebir as a club "hang-around."

"I didn't think he was Pagans material," Calhoun testified during the second day of the trial in U.S. District Court.

U.S. District Judge Samuel G. Wilson, who is presiding over the trial, asked "what's Pagans material?" Calhoun replied, "Someone who is a little street savvy."

Welebir had slipped up at a motorcycle event by publicly identifying Calhoun to someone who was not a member of the Pagans, Calhoun said.

Prospective members are schooled in Pagan ways, he said.
