BANDIDOS MC MEMBERS ESCAPE DEATH AND PAGANS MC (NO SHOW)
Two members of the Bandidos biker gang accused of waging a deadly war in Houston against a rival group will not face the death penalty, according to court records.
On Aug. 13, prosecutors notified Judge Keith Ellison that they would not seek the death penalty against David Vargas and Roy Gomez, two of the 14 alleged gang members who were indicted in a organized crime case earlier this year.
The Pagan’s Motorcycle Club rally in Oak Creek was projected to bring anywhere from 100 to 700 people to the town the weekend of Aug. 15, but only about 30-40 members showed, according to Routt County Undersheriff Joshua Carrell.
The Pagan’s Motorcycle Club, founded in 1957, is considered one of the “Big Four” motorcycle gangs, along with the Hells Angels, the Outlaws and the Bandidos, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Steamboat Springs Police Chief Mark Beckett, who has an extensive history in gang activity investigations, said the low turnout could be due to members of the club knowing there would be a large law enforcement presence in the town, and because of the growing Crosho Fire.
