WOONSOCKET, RI—A grand jury has indicted 41 of the accused biker gang members arrested last May during Operation Patched Out. Sixteen more defendants have already pleaded guilty, and four other cases were transferred to Drug Court or to Court Diversion programs, according to Amy Kempe, with the state Attorney General's Office said. (Court diversion programs, which are used for non-violent, first-time offenders, typically require the defendant to accept responsibility, make restitution and pay fees.)
The sting, described as the biggest take-down in Rhode Island State Police history, nabbed 50 initially and as the investigation continued, more were arrested.
The grand jury returned an 141-page indictment with 444 counts against the defendants. Deric McGuire, 33, of Burrillville, said to be the Pagans gang leader, faces more than 100.
Among the counts, Rodney P. Lambert, of Woonsocket, was also charged with weapons offenses. Brian Casserly was indicted for weapons possession, a rocket launcher and a sawed off shot gun.
Here are the other defendants.
Catherine Glaude, Kim Kaszyk, Mark Bunnell, Alexander Negron, Misael Alicia, Alexis J. Cartagena, Pedro Alvarez, Andrew Palin, Kyle Minot, David Leech, Robert Hamilton, Mark DiPillo, Christian Castro, Christine DeSpain, Jason Elias, Lisa Kakazu, Christopher Gauthier, David Dunham, David Rivera, Kirsten Anthony, Eric DuBois, Sabrina Archambault, Jared Rodenbaugh, Jason Lajoie, Jason Oliver, Jennifer Doura, Joejihao Qian, Yevgeniy Mazo, Marcel Peloguin, Okin Sanethavong, Pedro Alvarez, Shannon Millette, Phousith Norsavanh, Robert Minior, Shawn Glassey, Thomas Mulcahey, Tyson Rasco, and Wendy Riccitelli.
