PUEBLO, Colo.—Law-enforcement officers expect between 400 and 1,100 members of the Bandidos motorcycle club at a rally west of Pueblo next week.
Pueblo police and the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Department say they don’t expect trouble but are preparing.
They say the rally will be on private land Aug. 6-10.
The U.S. Department of Justice estimates the Bandidos have about 900 members in 88 chapters in the U.S., and up to 2,500 members worldwide.
In 2006, club president George Wegers was sentenced to 20 months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to engage in racketeering. Prosecutors dropped more serious charges.
