A member of the Hells Angels motorcycle club from Vacaville pleaded guilty Tuesday to possession of ammunition, U.S. Attorney Phillip Talbert announced.
According to prosecutors, Kenneth Caspers Jr., 57, beat two people who were members of another motorcycle club that was considered a “puppet club” (or subordinate) club of the Hells Angels.
Caspers defeated the men in 2021 along with fellow Hells Angels members Michael Mahoney, Jaime Alvarez and Dennis Killough after the victims were believed to have broken Hells Angels rules.
On December 8, 2021, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Caspers’ home in Vacaville and found several firearms and ammunition, including 18 rounds of .22-caliber, .25-caliber, and/or .38-caliber ammunition in Caspers’ master bedroom and bathroom .
Caspers has previously been convicted of several crimes – including a previous conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm – which prohibits him from possessing firearms or ammunition.
Caspers is expected to be sentenced on February 11, 2025 and faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The three other defendants previously pleaded guilty and were sentenced as follows: Alvarez was sentenced to 21 months in prison on March 21, 2023; Killough was sentenced to 46 months in prison on June 26, 2023, and Mahoney was sentenced to 37 months in prison on May 2, 2023.
