Sonoma Hells Angels member sentenced to five years in federal prison as RICO case continues

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:12:38 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — A longtime member of the Sonoma Hells Angels was sentenced to five years in federal prison after pleading guilty to involvement in a racketeering conspiracy and an assault, court records show.Russel Lyles Jr. pleaded guilty to a racketeering offense last November, but that doesn’t mean he agrees with the prosecution’s assessment of exactly what crimes he committed. Lyles’ lawyer submitted a 14-page court document filled with objections to a pre-sentencing report, in which Lyles either denies involvement in racketeering crimes, or clarified his motivation for committing various assaults.“Lyles often used his fists to punish individuals for their behavior or to ‘toughen them up,'” his attorney wrote in a document that denies Lyles committed a particular assault to further the Hells Angels’ interest.Nor, apparently, did Lyles agree with everything his fellow Hells Angels did. When he learned through a newspaper report that...

By Tierney Sneed and Hanna Rabinowitz | CNNFormer Donald Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro has been convicted of contempt of Congress for not complying to a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.Navarro is the second ex-aide to former President Donald Trump to be prosecuted for his lack of cooperation with the committee.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:12:38 GMT

Over the years, there have been rumors and gossip about Jimmy Fallon’s allegedly unhealthy “relationship with alcohol,” with a 2016 report saying that NBC chiefs had asked “The Tonight Show” host to cut back on his drinking over concerns that he was “out of control.”In a lengthy new report by Rolling Stone, staffers suggest that that this unhealthy relationship is still an issue and has contributed to his erratic behavior on the set, which, in turn, has helped turn “The Tonight Show” into “a toxic workplace — far outside the boundaries of what’s considered normal in the high-pressure world of late-night TV.”Two employees told Rolling Stone that they had seen the outwardly affable and goofy Fallon “seemingly inebriated” at work in 2017. Another two employees say on separate occasions in 2019 and 2020 they thought they smelled alcohol on Fallon’s breath when they entered an elevator with him during the...
