Pagans Plead No Contest
WEST VIRGINIA....
Fifty-four year old Michael "Tyrone" Trone of Newport, Pa., and Michael James "White Bear" Grayson, of Barren Spring, Va., former members of the Pagans Motorcycle Club's mother club pleaded no contest to felony charges in Kanawha Circuit Court this week. They were charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping stemming from an incident in June 2003. In exchange, prosecutors dropped five counts of kidnapping against both men, any of which could have carried a sentence of life in prison. The charges arose from a disagreement between members of the local chapter of the Pagans and Floyd "Jesse" Moore, the national vice president and mother club member who lived in St. Albans. Both face one to five years in prison for single counts of conspiracy to kidnap.
