Judge Denies Bond For Pagan President
In all, 55 National Pagan Motorcycle Club bikers and associates from West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Florida are facing charges of kidnapping, robbery, extortion, conspiracy to commit murder and additional crimes listed in a 44 count federal racketeering indictment which was unsealed in Charleston, West Virginia. On Wednesday, eight pleaded not guilty, and U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Stanley ordered three would be allowed release on bond, while five would remain in custody, pending hearings. On Thursday, Pagan's President, David Barbeito, pleaded not guilty and was ordered by Stanley to be held without bond, saying he is too dangerous to free.
