DA's office to re-indict remaining Twin Peaks cases on new charges
WACO -- While the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office has dismissed 117 Twin Peaks cases in recent months, including 62 on Tuesday, prosecutors plan on Wednesday to re-indict those bikers with cases remaining on a variety of charges.
According to sources familiar with the plans, prosecutors will seek to indict some or all of the 38 defendants with indictments still pending on a variety of charges, including riot, aggravated assault, tampering with evidence and felon in possession of a firearm.
The DA’s office indicted 155 bikers on identical engaging in organized criminal activity charges with underlying offenses of murder and aggravated assault. The indictments charged that the bikers, acting in a conspiracy, were all members of criminal street gangs and went to Twin Peaks in a show of support, knowing that a violent confrontation was likely.
Nine died and 20 were wounded during the shootout between Bandidos, Cossacks and their support motorcycle groups on May 17, 2015.
