Christian bikers face multiple felony charges

Five members of a Christian biker group were charged with several felonies Friday after they allegedly fought at a Newport Beach bar last month, a wire report said.

According to the Associated Press, Phillip Aguilar was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of ammunition by a prohibited person and possession of a deadly weapon; Matthew John Aguilar and Michael Alan Timanus Jr. were charged with street terrorism and possession of a deadly weapon; and Jose Quinones was charged with attempted murder and street terrorism. The story reported that a fifth member of the Set Free Soldiers was charged with helping Quinones conceal evidence.

Their arraignment is set for Sept. 25, the Associated Press reported.

Newport-Mesa SWAT teams joined others from Anaheim and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department on Wednesday morning in raiding homes in three cities. They arrested 10 men for allegedly brawling at Blackie’s By The Sea on July 27. The Hells Angels biker group was also involved in the fight, police said.
