The search is on for a Los Osos resident and member of Hell's Angels.
Sheriff's deputies want to talk to Michael Lynch of Los Osos about some stolen property. Lynch is the Vice President of the Santa Barbara chapter of the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang. Lynch spoke to Action News back in December when he helped organize a charity toy drive along the Central Coast. Deputies searched Lynch's home Wednesday night and took several items with them.Action News first met 52-year-old Michael Lynch during a charity toy run in December.Lynch and other members of the Santa Barbara Hell's Angels rode through the Central Coast delivering toys to families in need.He told us he wished people would focus more on his gang's charity and less on their bad reputation."When the motorcyclists get together, I don't think there's any reason to panic," Lynch said. "I think you should congratulate them, and thank them for what they donate to the community."There's no congratulations in this case.Dozens of Sheriff's deputies, police and California Highway Patrol officers searched Lynch's home on Bayview Heights Road in Los Osos Wednesday.
"I never saw so many policemen in one position, in one place, pulling out stuff and doing the same thing," said neighbor Everett Whitbeck.Officers pulled several Harley Davidson motorcycles from Lynch's garage. They said the bikes were stolen from the Fresno and San Jose areas.They also seized motorcycle and engine parts, a move that didn't surprise neighbors."There was one guy there, and he moved everything out of the garage, and he was painting the garage floor very carefully," Whitbeck said. "I kind of wondered why somebody who's renting a place for one year is painting the garage floor ."Officers also told us that many of the engines were either missing serial numbers or had new ones printed on them.Authorities have not been able to locate Lynch for questioning, but the investigation is still underway.

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'

LaAunzae was a Vice Lord, and Donald Ragland was a Gangster Disciple

2005 execution-style murder in Frayser was a case marked by "gangs, guns and death." And not incidentally, they added, there was an element of revenge when defendant Donald Ragland Jr. shot 26-year-old LaAunzae Grady three times in the back on a cold December afternoon outside of St. Elmo's Market."He didn't have a problem taking this job, because LaAunzae had killed his brother five or six years before this," gang unit prosecutor Ray Lepone told a Criminal Court jury. "LaAunzae was a Vice Lord, and Donald Ragland was a Gangster Disciple."Asst. Public Defender Trent Hall said prosecutors would not be able to prove their case and asked jurors to acquit Ragland, 27, of first-degree murder.On Wednesday, jurors watched a surveillance video from the store that showed an apparently nervous Grady looking out the front door of the store several times before finally leaving.A half-dozen loud gunshots then quickly follow, though the shooting on the outside p
