Founder of Punjabi Devils motorcycle club with ties to Hells Angels indicted in California, feds say
The founder of the Punjabi Devils, a Bay Area motorcycle club with ties to the Hells Angels, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on a slew of weapons-related charges after investigators found a small arsenal of guns and explosives in his home, officials said. Jashanpreet Singh, a 26-year-old Lodi resident, will face charges of dealing firearms, unlawful possession of a machine gun and possession of an unregistered rifle after he allegedly attempted to sell weapons to an undercover police officer in June, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District of California. Along with the rifle, revolver, three assault weapons and machine gun converters that he allegedly tried to sell to an undercover agent, federal prosecutors said a subsequent search of Singh's residence uncovered a variety of lethal weaponry — including another machine gun, a silencer, what appeared to be a Claymore mine and a hand grenade. Singh was originally slated to face charges in San Joaquin County on July 21, but he failed to appear in court. Two days later, he booked a flight from San Francisco to India that was scheduled on July 26, according to a news release. On that day, FBI agents met him at the airport and arrested him before he could board his flight. In a criminal complaint filed against Singh last month, a federal agent said an investigation into Singh revealed that he founded a subsidiary 'puppet' motorcycle group under the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club called the Punjabi Devils, which the agent described as a '1% motorcycle club,' in Stockton. According to the complaint, the 1% label is worn by motorcycle clubs that are immersed in criminality and indicates unlawfulness as a response to a 1947 American Motorcycle Assn. speech that stated '99% of the motorcycling public are law-abiding; there are 1% who are not.' An attempt by The Times to reach out to the Punjabi Devils Motorcycle Club for comment was unsuccessful. The investigation and arrest was the result of a local, state and federal multiagency effort that federal prosecutors said is a part of Operation Take Back America, a Department of Justice initiative to support the Trump administration's criminal policy objectives of repelling illegal immigration, dismantling cartels and transnational organizations and charging individuals with 'the most serious, readily provable offense,' according to an Office of the Deputy Attorney General memo from January. The news release also cited another federal effort: Project Safe Neighborhoods, which promotes the coordination of federal, state and local law enforcement to reduce violent crime and gun violence, according to the Department of Justice website. If convicted as charged, Singh faces up to 25 years and $510,000 in fines, federal prosecutors said.

Judge overturns ruling that determined Rene Gonzalez violated campaign finance laws
PORTLAND, Ore. () — The Portland Auditor's Office violated Rene Gonzalez's due process rights in determining he had broken campaign finance rules, a Multnomah County judge ruled. In the order issued on Thursday, Circuit Court Judge Melvin Oden-Orr overturned two of city watchdogs' previous rulings against the former commissioner and mayoral candidate. Earthquake-ready Burnside Bridge moves forward despite federal grant uncertainty Last August, officials into Gonzalez after a complainant accused his campaign of using more than $6,000 in public funds to update his Wikipedia page. The Auditor's Office first cleared him of the claims, arguing that there was insufficient evidence to determine he had violated campaign finance laws. But when presented with new information just weeks later, the office — and ultimately ruled in October that he had failed to comply with local regulations. Auditors also determined he violated laws by omitting a 'paid for by' disclaimer on a sign showcased during his mayoral run. Gonzalez was initially fined $2,400 for the Wikipedia-related violations. He was following his loss in the November election, when investigators claimed he had violated campaign finance laws on 18 different occasions. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now In a statement released after Judge Oden-Orr's ruling on Thursday, Rene For Portland argued the original complaint was a 'politically orchestrated attack.' 'This ruling is an important step towards ending the harassment moderate Democrats like Rene have been suffering at the hands of more extreme political actors willing to abuse well-intended campaign finance laws to undermine rather than strengthen our democracy,' Attorney Peter Grabriel said. Although Oden-Orr reversed both rulings from the auditor over due process rights, his order did not state whether or not the former candidate actually violated city regulations. The judge instead argued officials should've allowed Gonzalez to defend himself at a 'pre-deprivation hearing.' But in a statement, Auditor Simone Rede said her office was only enforcing the city's campaign finance law. 'Aggressive' river otters spark lawsuit from Washington mother 'We appreciate the court's guidance and are assessing options to make any necessary changes to the law,' Rede added. 'We will work with City Council to support voters' interest in fair and transparent elections while respecting candidates' individual due process rights.'

2 weeks ago, she left a doctor's appointment with her baby. They haven't been found since
The search continues for a California woman and her 8-month-old daughter who vanished while on their way home after a doctor's appointment, authorities and family said. It's been more than two weeks since Whisper Owen and her daughter, Sandra McCarty, were last seen, according to the Fresno County Sheriff's Office. Authorities say they have no clues in the Sacramento pair's disappearance, and loved ones have been left wondering and searching. 'It just makes it really hard for me as her mother to shut my brain off and not constantly imagine what could've happened to her,' said Owen's mother, Vickie Torres, tearfully. 'And that beautiful little baby. God, I hope, whatever happened, she's with her mama.' In a post to social media, the Sheriff's Office said that no information had been found to explain the disappearance. The Fresno Police Department's Missing Persons Unit is leading the investigation and, as of Wednesday evening, had no new developments to report. 'There is nothing in the current missing persons investigations which leads us to believe any foul play is involved with Whisper and her child not being located yet,' the department said in a statement to The Times. Torres confirmed that Owen and her daughter left Sacramento around 4 a.m. on July 15 and headed south toward Fresno to go to a doctor's appointment for the baby. Owen stopped at Torres' house in Fresno to change Sandra's diaper and then checked in for the appointment at 8:30 a.m., Torres said. Owen then visited her brother's Fresno home until around 2:45 p.m., then stopped to see Torres at her home again before leaving the city around 5 p.m., Torres said. Owen drove a silver 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer, and a license plate reader recognized her car in Atwater, about 65 miles from Fresno, at 8 that night, according to officials. Torres said that Owen probably stopped in Atwater to get baby formula for Sandra or to use the restroom. Security footage from a smoke shop in Atwater captured Owen parking and then changing her baby's diaper around 7:30 p.m., police said. That was the last sign of Owen, her daughter or her vehicle. Torres said Owen often spends days at a time at her house in Fresno, so her partner wasn't concerned when she didn't return home that night. Three days later, Owen's partner called Torres, asking where her daughter was. 'I'm like, 'What do you mean? She's not here,'' Torres told The Times. 'So then everything started to get scary at that point.' Ever since, Torres said, her family has been tirelessly searching the roads from Fresno to Sacramento, reaching out to businesses whose employees may have seen Owen, putting up fliers and spreading the word on social media. She also said that Owen experienced preeclampsia during her most recent pregnancy, causing her to be hospitalized several times with high blood pressure that continued even after she had given birth. Torres worried that Owen might have had a medical emergency while driving. With no information, it's easy to create troubling scenarios, she said. Torres said the situation has been distressing for the entire family. Owen and her partner are parents to Sandra, as well as a 3-year-old and a 9-year-old. She also has a 16-year-old child from a previous relationship. 'All of these kids are losing their minds,' Torres said. 'I mean, she didn't just run off or anything like that. ... She's got other children, I mean, no.' Owen's partner, whom Torres declined to name and who didn't immediately respond to The Times' request for comment, 'has been constantly searching, and he's exhausting every resource to him,' she said. Torres said she has been frustrated with the lack of information found so far. She has reached out to other agencies, including the Department of Justice, the FBI and the Sacramento Police Department, asking for assistance in the investigation. 'They've all blown me off,' Torres said. Sacramento police said in a statement to The Times, however, that they had assisted Fresno in the investigation. A Department of Justice spokesperson said the agency had posted Owen and her daughter on its public California Missing Persons website. The FBI didn't respond to The Times' request for comment. Torres described her daughter as an outspoken, trusting person who would drop anything to help a stranger in need. 'A lot of people love her,' Torres said. 'I've never met anybody that didn't like my daughter.' Fresno police said that teams were checking family shelters in Sacramento County and surrounding areas for Owen and her daughter. The Fresno Sheriff's Office advised the public to dial 911 if they saw Owen and her daughter or the vehicle.
