The former leader of a violent racist skinhead group will serve nearly 3½ years in federal prison on a racketeering charge.
Jeremy Robinson, 37, was sentenced on Oct. 15 after pleading guilty to a felony charge of interstate transportation in aid of a racketeering enterprise, according to court documents. Though Robinson did not deal drugs, he tried to help his cousin distribute a large amount of marijuana. In court documents, Robinson acknowledged renting a car for another man to bring marijuana from Texas to Indiana. The man, a courier in the cousin’s large-scale drug business, picked up the load but failed to get far before he was pulled over by Texas police, who found 90 pounds of marijuana in the trunk. Robinson also let his cousin use his tattoo shop in Valparaiso, Ind., to receive shipments of marijuana from Texas.

Hells Angel New York; Motorcycle club members meet at a run in Australia in 2009. An outlaw motorcycle club is a that has its roots in the immediate post-World War II era of American society. It is generally centered on the use of motorcycles, particularly and, and a set of ideals that celebrate.
Robinson was a founder of the now-defunct Outlaw Hammerskins, the group whose challenge in 1999 to the nationwide dominance of Hammerskin Nation signaled the beginning of the end of any unified skinhead movement. The Outlaw Hammerskins emerged after the Dallas-based leadership of Hammerskin Nation ordered an Indiana chapter of Northern Hammerskins to remove the “colors” (insignia) of a wayward member. Several Northern Indiana Hammerskins proceeded to beat the offender with a pool cue and threatened to burn off his Hammerskin tattoos with a blowtorch. The Dallas leaders ordered them to turn in their patches. A dozen or so of the Indiana crew left the Hammerskins to form their own renegade group, the Outlaw Hammerskins.
Under Robinson's leadership, the group forged close ties with the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, even designing its structure, rules and patches to closely resemble the Hells Angels. Robinson also gave the moniker “Brown Eric” to Eric “The Butcher” Fairburn after pronouncing Fairburn “too brown” to be an Outlaw. (Fairburn was allowed to hang out with the Outlaw Hammerskins, however, and in 2003 he co-founded the Indiana-based Hoosier State Skinheads along with several former members of the Outlaw
Hammerskins.) Infighting caused the Outlaw Hammerskins’ demise in 2002, but not before the group had left its mark on skinhead culture by defying the once-unquestionable authority of Hammerskin Nation.
In court documents, Robinson said he joined a skinhead group in 1992 because he was upset about his parents’ divorce. The group “became his replacement family for a period of time,” according to a sentencing memo. Between 2000 and 2002, Robinson received two misdemeanor convictions for battery and one for driving while intoxicated. Tired of always being angry, he renounced skinhead life around the time the Outlaws disbanded seven years ago, the memo said. “Mr. Robinson notes that he has evolved from an angry, heavy drinking skinhead who routinely appeared in criminal court to a responsible father and businessman,” a judge wrote in another memo. The judge sentenced Robinson to 41 months in prison, 10 months less than federal guidelines recommended. As part of the plea agreement, three other drug charges were dismissed.

How did B.C. Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth appoint the son of a former Hells Angel to the Surrey Police Board?
That’s the question being asked in Surrey Thursday, after provincially appointed police board member Harley Chappell’s connections to the criminal organization surfaced on social media.
“It makes you wonder about the vetting process when they chose the board,” said Surrey city councillor Jack Hundial, speaking to the provincial government.
“I think it needs to be investigated how close those ties are and that needs to be the determining factor,” said Hundial, who notes the gang controls part of the drug market in the city and had its clubhouse raided last month by Surrey RCMP.
Neither Farnworth nor Chappell have responded to Glacier Media’s inquiries on the matter; however, Chappell provided a statement to the Vancouver Sun Wednesday evening, saying he has “no relationship or association with the Hells Angel club in any way,” and that his father Phillip Chappell left the gang in 1992.

“My childhood experiences do not define me as an adult,” said Chappell, a Semiahmoo First Nations chief. “I have used my life experiences to become the person I am today: a father, a husband, a community leader.”
Chappell attended the funeral of Carla Newman, the mom of his childhood friend, and is photographed with several Hells Angels members, an August 30, 2018, Facebook post shows. The Sun reported one of those members is a convicted drug trafficker.
Chappell also has a photo posted on his Facebook page of his father as a young man in a club leather vest and t-shirt.
It is the attendance of the funeral that most worries Hundial. “So those ties still exist,” he said, adding public perception needs to be factored into any review.
The board did not respond to Glacier Media and only told the Sun that it was the provincial government that appointed Chappell.
Farnworth’s ministry claims it followed an “extensive assessment and screening process.”
The ministry notes the board has four main governance functions for the Surrey Police Service (SPS): employing the police and civilian employees; providing financial oversight for the police department; establishing policies and directions for the department; and managing service and policy complaints against the department.
Hundial has previously been critical of Farnworth for allowing the city to transition from the Surrey RCMP to the SPS in what he calls a non-transparent and poorly budgeted manner.
Hundial has also questioned whether Farnworth is fulfilling the Police Act by allowing Surrey council to freeze the Surrey RCMP for a third straight year.
The Auditor General of B.C. is an independent body tasked to report on how well government is “managing its responsibilities and resources.”
Hundial said the auditor ought to investigate the entire police transition.
“I think there’s a big responsibility; you’re creating what could be the biggest police force in the province,” Hundial said. “You need to be clearly transparent. Our own premier called it a ‘hornets’ nest.’
“This whole process has been rushed along, so this is just another example. The public has been questioning this process from the onset.”
The board chose Delta Deputy Chief Norm Lipinski as SPS chief last month. At the outset of the formation of SPS, Chappell was to play a significant role in drafting an Indigenous police strategy as the board’s chair of the governance committee, which oversees the board’s governing “philosophies, structures, policies, and processes as well as legal and compliance matters.”
Chappell, according to his online board profile, was a traditional counselor with the Fraser Valley Aboriginal Child and Family Services Society from 2006-16, a justice worker with the Qwiqwestom Alternative Justice Program and an Aboriginal support worker with the Chilliwack school district.
