 | Joseph M. Lancia, 28, identified as president of the Rhode Island Hells Angels chapter, is charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Cops say Lancia fired a shot at a driver passing by the club on Messer Street in Providence. Heavily armed cops swarmed the chapter’s clubhouse, shutting down the street for hours. |  |
| Prosecutors said video showed Lancia taking an object out of his waistband and stepping toward the passing car at the same time that a man reported a shot being fired at him. The incident occurred with other people around, in a densely populated area. Shortly after a high bail was set, a man in Hells Angels colours walked into the room where bail is posted with a thick stack of cash. Cops seized three weapons and ammunition after they searched the clubhouse. |
