Carl Bursey, 33, a former high-ranking member of the Bandidos

Rogar McIlroy, 44, who owns Lend A Hand Auto at 130 Railway St., a small auto shop where police allege the drug operation was centred. He faces 21 charges, including trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Also charged was Shirley McMahon, who worked in the Kingston Police's communications department.
The civilian employee of eight years was charged with attempting to obstruct justice and unauthorized use of a computer, after police say she used her position at the department to access sensitive information about investigations and pass it along to those involved with the ring.
She was not charged with any drug offences and will appear in court next month.
At a news conference at police headquarters yesterday afternoon, Insp. Antje McNeeley said McMahon was suspended from her job last year after police uncovered her alleged involvement during their lengthy investigation, which involved wiretaps and other forms of surveillance.
Det.-Const. Craig Sharp of the Kingston Police said investigators from that force and the RCMP intercepted more than 45,000 phone calls by and to the main suspects in the investigation, and that wealth of information led to arrests in other cities as well as uncovering McMahon's alleged involvement with the group.
Police also laid a charge of uttering death threats against one of the men arrested yesterday based on what they heard in those conversations.
The charge of threatening was laid against Carl Bursey, 33, a former high-ranking member of the Bandidos who is now believed to be an independent and not a patch-wearing bike-gang member. Bursey has a long criminal record and faces 29 charges as a result of the investigation.
The gang dealt primarily in marijuana and cocaine and Sharp said they were not affiliated with any particular organized crime group, such as the Hell's Angels, but would buy drugs based on price and resell in Kingston and to dealers in other cities.

Timothy “Fuzzy” Timms, a 45-year-old member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle club, stood up Monday for his First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Timms, a resident of the San Diego community of South Park, refused to take off a black leather vest with the motorcycle club's “death's head” insignia when he reported for jury duty. He's a big burly man, 5 feet 8 inches, 250 pounds, with a full beard and auburn-colored, shoulder-length hair. At 7:45 a.m., Timms' stance got him booted from the San Diego Superior Court's Hall of Justice by sheriff's deputies, along with another Hells Angel who also refused to remove his insignia vest. Nine hours later, representatives of both the Superior Court and the sheriff's department apologized to Timms and club member Mick Rush for “misunderstanding” an order issued April 24 by Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser. Rush also had been reporting for jury duty. “It all boils down to a misunderstanding of Judge Fraser'

Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, Griselda Blanco, aka the Black Widow

Rivi was, for a time, the hit-man of choice for Griselda Blanco, aka the Black Widow. Griselda was the grande dame of the Miami cocaine business, a Colombian mother of three, of impoverished origins, who slaughtered and intimidated her way to the top of a billion-dollar industry. She is a central character in this movie, the most deadly figure in a story in which the bodies are stacked like dominos. Conspicuous by her absence as an interviewee, she is one of the few key survivors of the era whom the film-makers were unable to coax before the lens. “Her release was imminent at that point, as was her deportation. I think she has changed her mind since, because we have been reapproached,” Corben says. contract killer Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, the director of Cocaine Cowboys Billy Corben says: “He told me where there is a body buried in Miami, by the Florida turnpike. It’s all developed now, malls and condominiums. He knows where all the bodies are buried. We told the police. I think he told the
