Eleven members of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang are facing multiple federal charges following raids at as many as 16 locations. Eight members of the Sonoma County Hells Angels chapter were named in a federal indictment unsealed yesterday, plus three others arrested over the weekend and yesterday in San Francisco, Fresno and Boston. The indictment accuses them of racketeering and conspiracy involving murder, assault, robbery, extortion and witness tampering. The raids over the weekend included one at the Wagon Wheel saloon in Santa Rosa, where six Hells Angels members were arrested.
