motorcycle gang connections were suspected in a fatal stabbing in the parking lot of a Spanaway bar

Two men with possible connections to a motorcycle gang were suspected in a fatal stabbing in the parking lot of a Spanaway bar late Saturday night.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department arrested the two men Sunday, spokesman Ed Troyer said.The victim, 38, whose name isn’t being released until the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office notifies his family, apparently argued with a group of men at The Bullseye Sports Lounge at 14904 Pacific Ave S.When the victim left the bar at about 10 p.m., presumably to return home, several men followed him into the parking lot and attacked him.“He was greatly outnumbered,” Troyer said. “It was four or five against one.”The victim’s friends couldn’t break up the fight or save him after the attack. “They tried to render aid, but the wounds were too catastrophic,” Troyer said.He was pronounced dead on arrival at 10:22 p.m. at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, medical investigator Amber Midkiff said.The suspects drove away by motorcycle and car, Troyer said. Investigators were looking into possible links to motorcycle gangs in Pierce and Thurston counties, and if that played a role in the fight.The suspects were due to appear in court today at 1:30 p.m., and the Sheriff’s Department was continuing to investigate.“We need to do further investigations to find out exactly what everyone’s role was,” Troyer said, “but we believe we have the two suspects in custody.”

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
