Hells Angels Arrested for Guns and Drugs in East Greenwich

Three Connecticut men and members of the Hells Angels were arrested in East Greenwich after they were found with a loaded gun, narcotics and four other weapons, the state police said.

Rhode Island State Police Superintendent Col. Steven G. O’Donnell said in a news release that troopers stopped four motorcycles for moving violations on Route 95 on Saturday and ended up seizing a loaded .357 caliber Charter Arms handgun, MDMA, also known as ecstasy, and “four weapons other than firearms.”

Charged were:

Kenneth Michaels, 44, of 46 Hull St., Ansonia, Conn. Police said Michaels was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit and narcotics possession as well as two counts of possession of weapons other than firearms.

He was released on $5,000 surety bail.

Sean Oldroyd, 42, of 2863 Fairfield Ave., Bridgeport, Conn. Police said Oldroyd was charged with a weapons law violation and was released on $1,000 surety bail.

Mark Jones, 42, of 30 Judd Road, Terryville, Conn. Police said Jones was charged with a weapons law violation and was released on $1,000 surety bail.

“This is another example of nothing being routine about a ‘routine traffic stop,’” O’Donnell said. ”I commend the troopers for their attention to detail and their understanding of the outlaw biker mentality of carrying weapons.”
