Las Vegas Hells Angels leader indicted on racketeering charges as Henderson shooting case evolves

Posted

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Las Vegas chapter president of the Hells Angels, Richard Devries, was taken into custody Monday on additional felony charges, including racketeering.

Devries already posted bail following his indictment by a Clark County grand jury in June. This was in connection to the shooting on U.S. 95 in Henderson over Memorial Day weekend.

Police say the shooting was allegedly between rival outlaw motorcycle gangs, the Hells Angels and the Vagos.
