Sorry, Hells Angels
Motorcycle club's clubhouse owner loses lawsuit
After the raid on El Cajon Boulevard
The federal government and Drug Enforcement Administration officers will not face charges they needlessly "blew up" an El Cajon clubhouse of the Hells Angels in 2011, U.S. district judge Gonzalo Curiel has ruled.
Property owner Maurice Peter Eunice, a Hells Angels member and owner of a storefront comprising three buildings on El Cajon Boulevard, filed suit against the government in 2013, following a raid in which were employed.
Eunice, who purchased the property in 1995 and began leasing it to the motorcycle club in 1996, says no one was inside at the time of the raid aside from a frightened dog, and insists that authorities could have simply asked him for keys to gain entry, according to a Courthouse News Service report.
"These agents held animus and ill will toward members of the Hells Angels. They wanted to punish, deter and intimidate Mr. Eunice who leased his properties to the Hells Angels to use as their clubhouse," reads a portion of the original complaint. Eunice holds that the officers were simply "showing off" for television news cameras when they used what his lawyers deemed excessive force during the entry.
Judge Curiel, however, denied Eunice's trespass and nuisance claims, noting that officials had a "high risk search warrant" and that there were eight search warrants and eleven arrest warrants associated with the raid. Further, the El Cajon Police SWAT team, not DEA agents, was actually responsible for deploying the explosive charges. Upon issuing his decision, he ordered the case closed.
