Baker, who was convicted last year, will face the consequences of his actions at a press conference to be held tomorrow, Friday, February 3 at 11:00 a.m.
The press conference, which will take place at the U.S. District Courthouse in Raleigh, North Carolina, will be attended by United States Attorney Michael Easley, as well as representatives from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Raleigh Police Department. The event is open to credentialed members of the media, who are invited to arrive at the courthouse by 10:30 a.m. for set up.
The Pagan Motorcycle Club, which is recognized by law enforcement as an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, has been involved in a range of criminal activities, including drug trafficking, firearm offenses, and money laundering. Baker’s conviction and sentencing are a significant blow to the organization, and demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies to tackling organized crime.
According to the DOJ, Baker was convicted of drug trafficking, firearm, and money laundering charges last year. The specifics of his sentence will be announced at the press conference, which is expected to provide further details on the case and the investigation that led to Baker’s conviction.
The investigation into Baker and the Pagan Motorcycle Club was led by the ATF, in partnership with the Raleigh Police Department and other law enforcement agencies.
