More biker gang members charged
Thursday, May 13, 2004 | 10:57 a.m.
Three more members of the Mongols motorcycle gang and one member of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang have been charged with murder in connection with the 2002 Laughlin River Run riot.
Mongols members Kenneth Dysart, 41, Pedro Martinez Jr., 24, and Victor Medina, 29, and Hells Angels member Frederick Dennis Donahue, 39, all face charges of murder, second-degree murder, conspiracy and burglary, according to the latest criminal complaint filed this week.
Of the four new defendants, Dysart is currently the only one in custody. Dysart has been booked at the Clark County Detention Center, while Martinez, Medina and Donahue were at large this morning, according to a representative of the detention center.
The charges against Dysart, Martinez, Medina and Donahue bring the number of defendants to 13 in connection to the riot between the rival motorcycle gangs at Harrah's Laughlin. The riot resulted in the deaths of Robert Emmet Tumelty, 50, Jeramie Dean Bell, 27, and Anthony Salvador Barrera, 43.
A Clark County grand jury returned a 73-count indictment April 19 against seven Hells Angels and two Mongols.
The original indictment alleges that Hells Angels Calvin Schaefer, 34, of Chandler, Ariz., Sohn Regas, 37, of Reno, Dale Leedom, 42, of Two Rivers, Alaska, James Hannigan, 36, of Mountain View, Calif., Raymond Foakes, 40, of Petaluma, Calif., Maurice Eunice, 53, of Lakeside, Calif., and Rodney Cox, 45, Phoenix, along with Mongols Alexander Alcantar, 35, and Roger Pinney, both of Los Angeles, entered Harrah's in Laughlin with the intention of causing or provoking a fight "to assist the activities of the criminal gang."
