The Associated Press reports that city officials fenced out notorious bike gang the Mongols from a weekend get-together in the Mojave Desert city of Lancaster over the weekend.
The Desert Inn, where space had been reserved for about 300 Mongols, was shut down due to $180,000 in back motel bed taxes.
Mayor R. Rex Parris said the gang "are engaged in domestic terrorism ... and they kill our children." When the hotel refused to renege on the contract with the Mongols, the city was forced to find another way to stop the gang from staying in the city.
Mongols lawyer Albert Perez Jr. said a lawsuit is planned over the motel contract dispute. He said up to 800 people, including members from 10 states and their families, were expected to attend the event. |
