( KRON ) — Three Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club members operating out of the Bay Area were all sentenced to spend the rest of their lives in prison, U.S. District Attorney Ismail J. Ramsey announced on Friday.
Prosecutors said this subset of Hell’s Angels members mainly operate out of Sonoma County but also have bases in Santa Rosa and Fresno. Ramsey described Hell’s Angels members and the following case as a “brutal brotherhood” whose deeds “should shock the conscience of us all.”

- Russell Taylor Ott, 70, aka “Rusty”
- Brian Wayne Wendt, 45
FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Tripp describes the three as “the most violent of the dozens convicted.”
On October 10, 2017, a federal grand jury indicted eleven members and associates of the chapter for “a swath of criminal activity,” including “murder, narcotics distribution, assaults, robberies, extortion, illegal firearms possession, and obstruction of justice,” prosecutors said.
