Gloucester gang member jailed

WANNABE gangster rapper has been jailed after breaching a ban on gang activities three times in six months. Ashley Nicholls-Perry, 20, of Parliament Street in Stroud, was sentenced to six months jail at Bristol Crown Court after the third breach – being found with cannabis. ​ THIRD BREACH: Ashley Nicholls-Perry. In October, Nicholls-Perry, originally from Gloucester, was one of two men to have a 12-month injunction placed on him – meaning he was barred from gang activity. That included being banned from entering Barton, Tredworth and Barnwood, associating with other gang members, being in a group of three or more people, wearing clothes that obscured his face and the possession and supply of drugs. But the court heard he had already breached the injunction twice – and been given a suspended prison sentence – for possession of drugs and promoting gang activity on a social media website. Gloucester Chief Inspector Richard Burge: "This shows people that anyone causing problems like this is going to be dealt with and won't get away with it. "While the gang problem wasn't on the scale of the bigger cities it was something some members of our community were badly affected by and we had to act on. "What we have done to date has led to a vast improvement in the level of violence and intimidation in Gloucester and the gangs we were dealing with twelve months ago no longer wield the power they did. "We're not complacent about the situation and the team continues to monitor the possibility of new gangs emerging." Nicholls-Perry, a former music student at Stroud College, had the injunction imposed on him by Gloucester City Council, in partnership with Gloucestershire Police and Gloucester City Homes. Martin Shields, director of services and neighbourhoods for the council, which helped bring about the injunction, said: "This sentence demonstrates the commitment that all of the partners involved have given to dealing with the problems of anti-social behaviour in the city, making it a great place to live, work and visit. The message is very clear. Behaviour of this nature won't be tolerated."

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 pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg courtroom today to carrying a firearm in a careless manner in January 2007

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. That crime occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 20, 2007, as Bowden was leaving the NV lounge in a truck with friend Ken Houston, court heard. Police discovered a Glock 9mm handgun loaded with 18 bullets in a pile of garbage close to where the...

Closing arguments began today in the murder trial of a reputed Oak Park gang member charged in the shooting death of one of his homeboys while they were out on a retaliation attack in rival territory.Deputy District Attorney Anthony Ortiz said as many as 30 shots were fired in the June 27, 2005, broad-daylight shooting on Della Circle in the Florin area. One of the shots fired by defendant Denishio Demmitrius Collins, 26, killed David Perkins, 22, one of the eight gang members from the Oak Park Bloods who filled three cars in the assault on a rival Crip set, according to Ortiz."This wasn't an in-the-dark sneak attack," Ortiz said. "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.
