Former Pagan Sentenced
WEST VIRGINIA....
Corey Charles "Mohawk" Hinkle, 30, of Charleston, a former Pagans Motorcycle Club member, was sentenced Thursday to five months in jail. Hinkle pleaded guilty on July 8th to aiding and abetting obstruction of justice, admitting that, in February 2009, under orders from Pagans national vice president Floyd B. "Jesse" Moore, he removed a tote full of clothing and patches commandeered from members of another motorcycle club from the group's St. Albans clubhouse so that it could be destroyed. Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Loew said the Pagans knew they were under federal investigation, because of several searches conducted by federal agents and several Pagans who had testified before a grand jury. Hinkle said he voluntarily left the Pagans in 2009, not long after the clubhouse incident, because he was constantly being pulled between the club and his job as a Kanawha County school bus driver. After being indicted, Hinkle resigned from his job as a bus driver.
