With more than 100 police officers patrolling the streets of Boulder City in anticipation of the Mongols Motorcycle Club’s gathering this weekend, chances were great for some sort of incident.
It occurred Friday afternoon. Police stopped none other than the Mongols' frontman, Stephen Stubbs, for — wait for it — jaywalking.
Stubbs, an attorney and longtime resident of Boulder City, said he would challenge it.
He was nabbed after crossing a street outside of the Boulder Inn and Suites, where the Mongols are staying.
“A truck was making a left-hand turn, so it had blocked any traffic coming,” Stubbs said, explaining that he scurried quickly across the street during the truck’s turn.
Boulder City Police could not be reached for comment.
Earlier this week at a town hall meeting to air concerns about the motorcycle club’s gathering, Boulder Police Chief Thomas Finn said there would be an influx of law enforcement officers over the weekend and heightened law enforcement.
Fighting the Mongrel hoardes trying to take over North America has been a seesaw battle for for 30k years.
A ticket for J awalking and no turn signal. seem like the cops are the one's looking to start some trouble.
What does Nabbed mean. Does this mean he was arrested,ticketed,kidnapped?
Wish they'd "nab" some of the muckety mucks jaywalking in front of the regional justice center. On a couple of occasions I've almost accidentally killed our beloved DA Steve Wolfson as he darted into traffic against the light outside of a marked crosswalk. Standing on the corner were several law enforcement officers watching with their hands in their pockets. Guess the laws only apply to some.
I'm sure this makes Boulder City residents feel more secure!
Misdemeanor cops in a felony world
Never heard of a Mongol describing himself as "scurried quickly" to cross the street. LOL
It's called proactive policing folks! Before anyone has time to get liquored up...hand out a few minor tickets to show law enforcement means business! Works for me.
So the fuzzballs nabbed a biker for jaywalking. They need to come to my end of town and watch the real-life version of 'Frogger' out here on Jones BLVD.
I understand the logic of proactive policing...but in this case it seems dumb. I highly doubt it's going to escalate from jaywalking, to speeding, to mugging, to a giant brawl. Kind of nonsense for a 2 day get together.
I had suggested there will not be any problems because it seems both the Mongols and the police are intent on this. Throwing the guy a jay walking ticket doesn't help the mutual cooperation to make sure there aren't any real problems.
hey TomD you keep posting on here on what great guys these are, yet you don't live here, o why don't you come on out and see if you can join the party LOL let me know what time you try so i can watch what happens.
@Juan
I never said anyone was "great guys"...get your "facts" straight. If they are not wanted individuals and obey the laws (sans jaywalking..LOL)...let them be. Last time I checked it's a free country. I'll be there tomorrow, Boulder City Brewery for a Shandy. I'll lay a wager there are no incidents. Stop on by.

I really do not see the problem here.
He is a lawyer and a person who belongs to an organized crime group.
He broke the law and why should he be exempt. Either way he should have known better but wanted all the attention to say how they were just a bunch of motorcyclist, having a good time. The majority of people who are ignorant, or various organized crime groups, tend to believe them.
In this case, the broken window principal applies, "take care of the little things, no matter how small, and the big things will take care of themselves, or never happen"
Personally I wouldn't thing of "jaywalking" and not fully expect to get a ticket, however if I did I guarantee you I would keep my mouth shut, and not pretend I am the "big and tuff guy" who will "see you in court".

I correct myself in that the first post indicated the subject was a member of the group and is actually just a "spokesperson" for the group as a legal representative.
You would have never known he got a jaywalking ticket unless someone "reported" on it or someone sought him out for an "interview".....
Now we have reporters scrambling around Boulder City looking for a story...like this?
Let's hear about the local eateries and if they are enjoying a little boost. The merchants?
As I stated, it's been peaceful, will be peaceful...then they will leave.
I agree with Is1.....sounds like the cops are looking to start trouble for something thousands of tourists and locals here in Vegas do everyday and get away with it. Over 100 cops are patrolling 300 mongols so basically every 4th person is a cop. If this happened in NLV, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson would be here tomorrow.
A clear case of Gang Related Jaywalking.
lame to many cops with nothing to do they are just looking for anything
These are not people the police should bother over "Jaywalking" This could have opened up a can of worms and whip*ss all over the cops.
