Fourth Bay Area Hells Angels Member Pleads to Criminal Possession of Ammunition

A fourth member of the Vallejo chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of ammunition during a hearing Tuesday morning in a federal courtroom in Sacramento.

Kenneth Caspers Jr., 57, of Vacaville, pleaded guilty to illegal possession of ammunition after being convicted of a felony, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert said in a news release.

According to court documents, in October 2021, two different victims – both members of a different motorcycle club considered a “puppet” (or subordinate) club of the Hells Angels – were beaten by Caspers, Michael Mahoney, Jaime Alvarez, Dennis Killough. , and other club members. The assaults were based on alleged violations of Hells Angels rules, said Talbert, who heads the Justice Department’s Eastern District of California.

Court records indicate that 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, .25 caliber ammunition. and/or .38-. caliber ammunition in Caspers’ master bedroom and bathroom.

Caspers, who remains out of custody, has previously been convicted of several felonies — including a previous conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm — that prevent him from possessing weapons or ammunition.

The case stems from an investigation by the Solano County Prosecutor’s Office, the Solano County Sheriff’s Office, the Vacaville, Vallejo and Fairfield police departments, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives.

Assistant United States Attorneys Jason Hitt, Alsytn Bennet and Adrian T. Kinsella are leading the prosecution.

U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez scheduled Caspers’ sentencing hearing for Feb. 11, when he faces a maximum prison term of 10 years and a $250,000 fine. The actual sentence, however, will be determined by the court and federal sentencing guidelines, which take into account a number of variables, Talbert noted in the prepared statement.

The other three defendants have already 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.

The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make neighborhoods safer for everyone, a Talbert said.
