Vallejo Man Pleads Guilty to Possessing Firearm as a Felon
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Jaime Alvarez, 52, of Vallejo, California, pleaded guilty yesterday to unlawfully possessing a firearm after being convicted of a felony crime, United States Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.
Alvarez, a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
On December 8, 2021, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Alvarez’s home as part of an investigation into a brutal beating at the clubhouse for the Vallejo chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.
According to court documents, in October 2021, two different victims – both of whom were members of a different motorcycle club that is considered a ‘puppet’ (or subordinate) club of the Hells Angels – were beaten by Alvarez and other club members based on perceived infractions of the Hells Angels’ rules.
During the December 2021 search of Alvarez’s Vallejo home, law enforcement found several firearms, including a Glock 27 .40 SW caliber handgun. Alvarez has prior felony convictions, which prohibit him from possessing firearms.
This case is the product of an investigation by the Solano County District Attorney’s Office, the Solano County Sheriff’s Office, the Vallejo Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Alvarez is scheduled to be sentenced on March 7, 2023, by U.S. District Judge Dale A. Drozd.
This case is being prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the violent crime reduction efforts.
