A former president of the Hells Angels in Manitoba has been denied
both day and full parole.
The decision came down on Wednesday.
Dale Sweeney, 47, was deemed to be a “risk to society” by the Parole
Board of Canada.
According to parole board documents, Sweeney is serving a second
federal sentence of 10 years for “Instruct Commission of Offence for a
Criminal Organization and Possession of Property Obtained by Crime.”
Sweeney was first arrested in January 2012 in possession of $20,000 in
cash, four phones, a journal, and score sheets related to a drug
trafficking operation, the documents said.
He was released without any charges, but was arrested again in March
2016.
The documents state Sweeney had a previous criminal record of “crimes
of violence, theft, fraud, attempting to obstruct justice and most
recently in 2002 discharge firearm with intent.”

======================================================================
The former president of the local Hells Angels was given a 11-year
prison sentence this morning for running a lucrative cocaine operation
in the city.
Dale Sweeney showed no emotion as Justice Richard Saull handed down
the sentence, which was the result of a plea bargain between defence
and Crown counsel.
Sweeney was one of 11 suspects arrested in March 2012 following a
lengthy Winnipeg police investigation dubbed Project Flatline.
Sweeney pleaded guilty this morning to charges of trafficking cocaine
and possession of proceeds of crime.
Sweeney admitted in court that he ran the sophisticated drug dealing
operation, which saw between one and two kilograms of cocaine being
sold every month on Winnipeg streets between May 2011 and February
2012.
Sweeney was buying the cocaine from suppliers in British Columbia and
then handing it off to the Redlined Support Crew, the puppet gang of
the Hells Angels, who turned the cocaine into crack cocaine and sold
it in smaller amounts through street dealers.
Court was told the illegal operation was generating sales of more than
$100,000 every month.
Sweeney was arrested in March 2012 at the airport as he was preparing
to leave with his wife for a vacation to Jamaica.
Justice Saull gave Sweeney credit for the time he has served since his
arrest, leaving him with 10 more years to serve. Sweeney will also
have to serve four years before he is eligible for parole.
In addition to the prison sentence, the court seized Sweeney's family
home on Autumnview Drive in Waverley West, several bank accounts which
held more than $500,000, and two Harley Davidson motorcycles.

And check out what a "tough 1% biker" his HAMC brother Rod Sweeney Is:

A well-known member of the Manitoba Hells Angels has dumped his lawyer
-- just days before a hearing into allegations he broke the arm of a
14-year-old leukemia patient.
Rod Sweeney, 45, is now representing himself following Tuesday's
development. He cited "a breakdown in solicitor/client relationship"
as
the reason for parting ways with his lawyer. No other details were
provided to the court.
Sweeney's preliminary hearing has been cancelled to allow him time to
find another lawyer to represent him. A new date has not been set.
Provincial court Judge Tim Preston said it would not be wise for
Sweeney
to be his own counsel given the serious charges he is facing --
aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
"If you're intending to get another lawyer, that has to happen fast,"
Preston said Tuesday.
At a bail hearing last year, Sweeney was accused by the Crown of "an
unprovoked attack on a child." He was granted his release despite
objections from the Crown and remains free in the community.
The teen victim and his 27-year-old uncle were accosted in August 2013
as they rode their bikes in the back lane of Molson Street near
Concordia Avenue in East Kildonan. The teen has been sick with cancer
for several years and never learned to ride a bike, something he was
embarrassed about. His uncle was giving him secret lessons, court was
told.
Things took a violent turn when a man began screaming at them from
behind a fence of a nearby home. The man told the pair he'd been
watching them on surveillance cameras from inside his home. He vowed
to
"teach you a lesson," then appeared moments later in the lane. He was
carrying a large metal bar that was used to strike the boy on the arm,
breaking it. The uncle was also punched repeatedly and had a bicycle
thrown at him.
Sweeney, who lives in the home where the victims say the "voice" came
from, was contacted by police and denied any responsibility. He agreed
to turn himself in, but left the city and didn't surrender to police
until eight days after the attack.
By then, police had executed a search warrant at his home on Molson.
They said his surveillance system's recording device had been removed,
preventing any videos from that night from being viewed.
Sweeney claims he was fishing at a friend's Gimli-area cottage at the
time he was alleged to have attacked the two victims. The Crown
attacked
his story, suggesting the friend is trying to cover for him.
Sweeney's brother, Dale Sweeney, is the president of the Manitoba
chapter of the Hells Angels and is serving an 11-year prison sentence
for his role in an elaborate drug operation.
