Ninth Commandment
Ex-Hells Angel arrested
CP
WELLAND -- A former member of the Niagara Hells Angels chapter has
been arrested after he tried to intimidate a 22-year-old rookie police
officer, said Niagara Region police. Police arrested a 45-year-old
Welland man Thursday and he was later taken to hospital after
complaints of chest pains.
The arrest followed an incident in which a man went to the Port
Colborne police detachment and confronted a young officer in the
parking lot, police said.
After identifying himself as the Angels' former sergeant-at-arms, he
allegedly made a number of veiled threats in an attempt to threaten
and intimidate the officer over a minor traffic enforcement matter,
said Const. Rick Geady. Richard Ward has been charged with one count
of uttering threats.
