A former president of the San Diego Hells Angels, wanted in California in the 2007 robbery and kidnapping of a fellow Hells Angels member, was arrested this week in Honolulu and will appear Monday before a Honolulu District Court judge.
Stephen Sanders, 42, surrendered Thursday night to federal and local authorities at Ala Moana Beach Park, the FBI said.
Sanders was one of four men wanted in the 2007 incident, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. The four men are accused of kidnapping, torturing, assaulting and robbing a man who informed the club that he no longer wanted to be in it.
The man was beaten, and his Hells Angels tattoos, which ran up three sides of his neck and both arms, were tattooed over. The assailants forced him to sign over the title to his motorcycle, the newspaper reported.
Sanders also is wanted in connection with a separate attack on a motorcyclist in May 2010. Another Hells Angels member was upset with the man because his ex-girlfriend was sending the victim sexually explicit text messages, the paper reported.
He is expected to be extradited to California to face charges there, the FBI said.
