Which one of the clubs was running drugs across the border for the government ?
“It’s a control thing,” he said. “They want to control all the clubs. Bandidos are pulling all the puppet strings. It’s basically a way of telling the other clubs, ‘This is how we’re going to do things.’ It’s a way to keep track of them and make sure no one is communicating with the Hells Angels.”
In 1998, the president of the Bandidos pleaded guilty to conspiracy to manufacture and sell up to 1,000 pounds of methamphetamine.
The Bandidos also were implicated in the 2006 slaying of a 44-year-old motorcyclist who was trying to start a Hells Angels chapter in Austin.
In 2013, a 46-year-old biker from Abilene who police called the leader of a West Texas Bandidos Chapter was charged with stabbing two Cossacks.
