Six Busted in Gang Murder

Robert Lee Huggins was found dead in an open field off of a logging road in Ridgefield, Washington last July.

He had been badly beaten and police were fairly quickly able to determine that he had been dumped there.

From his tattoos, investigators were able to determine that Huggins was a member of the Gypsy Jokers motorcycle gang.

It didn't take long for investigators came up with the name of a suspect. They also quickly figured out that there were more people involved.

On Wednesday, they finally rounded up the suspects, charging six people in connection with the murder of Huggins.

• 56-year-old Mark Leroy Dencklau and 46-year-old Earl Devearl Fisher Jr. were booked into the Multnomah County Jail on charges of Murder, Conspiracy to Commit Murder, Kidnap in the First Degree, and Conspiracy to Commit Kidnap in the First Degree.
• 34-year-old Tiler Evan Pribbernow, already in the Multnomah County Jail on unrelated charges, is being charged with Murder, Conspiracy to Commit Murder, Kidnap in the First Degree, and Conspiracy to Commit Kidnap in the First Degree.
• 51-year-old Ronald Charles Thompson and 43-year-old Kendra Castle were booked into the Multnomah County Jail on a charge of Hindering Prosecution.
• 32-year-old Malachi Watkins, already in custody in the State of Washington at the Stafford Creek Corrections Center in Aberdeen for unrelated charges, will face charges of Murder, Conspiracy to Commit Murder, Kidnap in the First Degree, and Conspiracy to Commit Kidnap in the First Degree.

All except Watkins will be arraigned Thursday.

A grand jury is hearing the case and more charges could be filed in the future.
