On 5 December 1984, the Thirteenth Tribe biker gang of Halifax led by David Carroll "patched over" to become the first Hells Angels chapter in Atlantic Canada.
[1] In 1984, Allan "the Weasel" Ross, the boss of the West End Gang, told the Hells Angels Yves Trudeau that he was willing to forgive the drug debts owned to him by the Halifax chapter in exchange for the Halifax chapter paying Trudeau money that Ross owned him.
[6] According to the police informer Dany Kane, between April and November 1996 Caroll shipped 30 kilograms of cocaine from Montreal to Halifax.
[10] In February 1997, Carroll sent Kane along with his lover Aimé Simard to Halifax to kill a locally prominent businessman Robert MacFarlane.
[14] Mike "Speedy" Christiansen spent 10 years in prison after his conviction for rape as he joined several bikers in gang-raping a 16-year-old girl in 1971.
[14] The other prominent members of the chapter were Neil "Nasty" Smith and Clay McRea, the younger brother of Mike McCrea.
[14] In 1998, a "full patch" member of the Halifax chapter, Gregory Brushett, vanished and is believed to have been murdered by his fellow Angels to prevent him from turning Crown's evidence after he was convicted of three counts of cocaine trafficking.
[14] Randy Mersereau, a member of the Halifax chapter broke away in 1998 to found his own gang under the grounds: "I'm here to make money.
[15] Kane reported to his police handers: "Carroll is very disappointed by the leadership exercised by the Hells Angels in Halifax.
[15] Later courtroom testimony stated that Wendelborg was killed by Billy Marriot and Larry Pace in a murder paid for by Wilson.
[18] The directors of the Port of Halifax made it clear to Brine and Mott that they had no interest in investigating allegations of Hells Angels influence on the waterfront, especially after a woman who worked as a cleaner who was dating a Hells Angel sued the Port of Halifax corporation after she was sacked on Brine's advice.
[27] Wilson lived in British Columbia for a time under alias of David Michaud and was by own admission involved in drug smuggling.
[29] Wilson's trial ended on 8 April 2004 with him making a plea bargain with the Crown where he pledged guilty to ordering the murders of MacFarlane in 1997 and Wendlborg in 1998.
[31] The undercover work of "Bill" led to the three "full patch" Angels from the Halifax chapter being convicted of drug charges.
[32] McCrea was forced to return his bikers vest with the Hells Angels patch following the revocation of the Halifax chapter.
