BOSTON (AP) – The head of a Hell’s Angels affiliate in Massachusetts was indicted on federal gun and drug charges.

Prosecutors say 44-year-old Jeffrey Dillon of Fall River was indicted on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.

Dillon, the president of the Fall River chapter of the Sidewinders, a Hell’s Angels affiliated group, was charged after police confiscated 23 guns, ammunition and about 50 grams of cocaine.

U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan described the Sidewinders as a “violent motorcycle gang.” Prosecutors say Dillon’s indictment is part of an ongoing criminal probe into the two motorcycle gangs.
