Matt J. Whitworth, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of
Missouri, announced that two motorcycle club members have pleaded guilty in
federal court to their roles in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
Kansas City, MO - infoZine - William Eneff, also known as “Muff,” 59, of Lee’s
Summit, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Fernando J. Gaitan this
afternoon to participating in a conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of
methamphetamine between Jan. 1, 2002, and May 31, 2007.
Eneff, a member of the El Forastero Motorcycle Club, admitted that members of El
Forastero and the affiliated Galloping Goose Motorcycle Club were required to
annually pay dues and attend a certain number of motorcycle trips, known as
runs, each year. On each run, the members were required to pay money that was
pooled, or collected by each club charter, then forwarded to the specific
Galloping Goose or El Forastero charter that hosted the particular motorcycle
run in order to purchase methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana. Those drugs
were maintained in run bags, which were distributed to all club members that
attended the run.
Eneff was released from prison in 2005 and resumed his membership with El
Forastero upon his release. Eneff admitted that he paid his required dues and
attended at least three runs between 2005 and 2007.
Michael Fitzwater, also known as “Holms,” 60, address unknown, pleaded guilty on
Tuesday, June 2, 2009, to his role in the conspiracy to distribute
methamphetamine. Fitzwater was a member of the Galloping Goose Motorcycle Club.
Seven additional members of those clubs have also pleaded guilty to their roles
in the conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine: Donald Culey, also known as “Kooly,”

as “New Yorker,” 59, of Blue Springs, Mo., Michael Hensley, also known as “Joe
Poke,” 43, address unknown, and Donald Street, also known as “Donnie,” 36, of
Edwardsville, Kan. Each of the defendants admitted that, as active members, they
participated in the distribution of between 500 and 1,500 grams of
methamphetamine. That amount is based on 20 runs over a five-year period, with
each run involving the distribution of at least one ounce (28 grams) of
methamphetamine.
