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.

Four people were arrested on suspected drug charges, including the group's leader.Methamphetamine was found at the Gypsy Joker Motorcycle Club compound at West 19th Avenue and South Gum Street. Benton County Undersheriff Paul Hart said they needed so many officers as a "precautionary" step because the Gypsy Jokers are known to be connected to drugs and other criminal activities."It is an outlaw motorcycle gang with convicted felons who reside there," Hart said. "We gear up to meet that threat."Some stolen property and a couple of weapons also were seized, he said. The Violent Crimes Task Force, made up of federal agents and local police detectives, raided the club house and two homes at 5 a.m.The Benton County Regional SWAT team and the Yakima SWAT team were used to help search all the buildings."Because of the large site ... it makes it difficult to secure and make sure everybody is safe," Hart said.

William (Billy) Bowden, 33, pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg courtroom today to carrying a firearm in a careless manner in January 2007 and skipping out on his preliminary hearing about a year later. Other drug and weapons charges related to the 2007 incident were stayed as part of a plea bargain securing the two convictions. Bowden remains in custody though, charged with manslaughter in relation to the November 2007 killing of Jeff Engen, who was fatally stabbed at the Empire Cabaret, prompting the club to close. That charge remains before the courts. Bowden has been in custody since he was arrested Feb. 14 in Whistler, B.C., and returned to Manitoba. The Crown and defence jointly recommended that time be noted in his sentence for carrying the firearm.

"These were people who said 'screw it' - this is our war and we're going to bring it to your streets." After the shooting, the Oak Park gang members dumped the dying Perkins out of one of their vehicles and left him to die, Ortiz said."He was left on a sidewalk to die by his homeboys," the prosecutor said.
