Defendant
was a member of the Galloping Goose Motorcycle Club chartered in
El
Forastero Motorcycle Club and in fact, the clubs share a common clubhouse in
City,
dues to
the Galloping Goose Motorcycle Club. The Clubs would have parties, hosted by
a local club, and these parties are called “runs.” Members of
the Galloping Goose
Motorcycle
Club were required to go on the July 4th Galloping
Goose run, and could go
on other
runs. On each run, the members were required to pay run money that was
pooled, or
collected, by each club charter, and then forwarded to the specific Galloping
Goose or
El Forastero charter that hosted the particular motorcycle run. The pooled
money was
used to pay for hall rental, food, drink and other entertainment expenses. At
some of
the runs, the local charter also used a portion of the money to purchase
methamphetamine
and marijuana. Those drugs were maintained in “run bags” and were
available
to any of the club members that wanted them. On some runs, there were no
“run bags”
with drugs. At others, the “run bag” drugs were donated. On some of the
runs, a
portion of the run money collected by the
Galloping Goose, was used to purchase methamphetamine and
marijuana. The defendant
knew that
a portion of the run money could be used to purchase methamphetamine and
marijuana,
and then be distributed to those club members who wanted them. By these
actions,
the defendant admits that he assisted others in the distribution of those drugs
to
club members who wanted them.
