Former Hells Angels Member Sentenced in Guam

Hagatña, Guam – A former Hells Angels outlaw motorcycle gang member has been sentenced to 80 months in federal prison for his role in a large-scale methamphetamine trafficking operation in Guam.

Nicholas Alexander Aguon, 34, of Stockton, California, was convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute Fifty or More Grams of Methamphetamine Hydrochloride, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1).

Aguon’s sentencing was announced by Shawn N. Anderson, United States Attorney for the Districts of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

According to court documents, Aguon traveled to Guam from Stockton, California, in 2017 and began distributing methamphetamine from two Tumon hotel rooms to numerous persons.

The investigation revealed that Aguon received large sums of money in his personal accounts and returned the proceeds back to his California supplier using money remitter services.

Aguon sold over a pound of methamphetamine before the distribution was detected by law enforcement.

“The sentence in this case sends a message of deterrence to those seeking to distribute drugs in Guam,” stated United States Attorney Anderson.

“Combatting drug crime remains an important priority for our law enforcement partners. I applaud their efforts.”

The investigation was conducted by the Homeland Security Investigations and prosecuted by Rosetta L. San Nicolas, Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Guam.

Aguon was also ordered to serve five years of supervised release and pay a $100 mandatory special assessment fee.

Defendants convicted of a federal drug offense may no longer qualify for certain federal benefits.

Aguon’s sentence is a stark reminder that those who engage in large-scale drug trafficking will be held accountable for their crimes.

“HSI is committed to investigating drug traffickers who trade in methamphetamine,” said John F. Tobon, Special Agent in Charge, HSI Honolulu.

“Criminals like Aguon who distribute this poison will be investigated and prosecuted to stop the flow of dangerous drug into our communities.”
