Fugitive Biker Gang Member Arrested In Aurora

AURORA, Colo. (AP) - U.S. Marshals have arrested a fugitive motorcycle gang member who's accused of plotting to kill rivals in Denver and in Illinois.

Marshall "Big Bo" Fry, purportedly a member of the Wheels of Soul gang, was taken into custody Tuesday in the Denver suburb of Aurora. He was the last to be arrested among 18 members who were indicted in June.

Fry was charged with racketeering, attempt to commit murder in aid of racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering. He was accused of firing at rival gang members in Denver last year and planning to kill members of another gang this year in East St. Louis, Ill., the Denver Post reported.

It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney.

Authorities say Wheels of Soul amassed power by selling crack cocaine and intimidating rival gangs and clubs across the country. It has a presence in Philadelphia, Chicago, Indianapolis and Denver.

According to an indictment, Fry fired a shotgun at a Hell's Lovers gang clubhouse in Denver on Aug. 2, 2010. Three members of Hell's Lovers returned fire.

In January, the Colorado chapter president of Wheels of Soul, Jerry Elkins, ordered Fry and another member to travel to East St. Louis, Ill., to kill members of the Outkast motorcycle gang, the court document said. That mission was thwarted because police were near an Outkast gathering.

On Saturday, U.S. Marshals raided an auto repair shop where they believed Fry was hiding, but he apparently had left before the raid.

"He knew we were looking for him," said Charlie Ahmad of the U.S. Marshals Service.
