RALEIGH, N.C. – In a grim reminder of the dangers posed by outlaw motorcycle gangs, Christopher Lamar Baker, a national leader of the Pagan Motorcycle Club (PMC), stands on the precipice of a lengthy prison term. The PMC, classified as an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang by law enforcement, has long been a target for authorities due to its involvement in drug trafficking and other serious crimes.
Baker’s fall from grace began last year when he was convicted of drug trafficking, firearm, and money laundering charges. The sentence of this notorious biker is expected to be announced during a press conference scheduled for tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m., held at the U.S. District Courthouse in Raleigh.
United States Attorney Michael Easley will preside over the event, alongside representatives from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Raleigh Police Department. The press conference is set to detail the charges against Baker and his fellow PMC members, who have been under investigation for years.
WHERE:
U.S. District Courthouse, 310 New Bern Avenue, Raleigh, NC 27601
WHEN:
Friday, February 3 at 11:00 a.m.
Media representatives are required to arrive by 10:30 for set up and should RSVP their intentions to attend the event. Additional information can be obtained by e-mailing Don Connelly at usance.PublicInfoOfficer@usdoj.gov.
The PMC’s influence on the streets of Raleigh has been a subject of concern, with the gang known for its brutal tactics and relentless pursuit of power. Baker’s sentencing could mark a significant setback for the PMC in North Carolina.
