Notorious motorcycle club now a nonprofit group
Notorious motorcycle club now a nonprofit group, The Bandidos Motorcycle Club has opted to put on paper what they have argued all along, that they are not a gang but a legitimate brotherhood of motorcycle riders.
William E. Sartelle, the Bandidos’ national board and interim president, formed a nonprofit corporation called USARG Inc. in March to represent the Bandidos and to handle the group’s charitable contributions. Sartelle, Timothy W. Harper and Marcos M. Flores, all of the Houston area, are listed as directors.
On May 3, USARG filed an assumed name certificate with Texas’ Secretary of State Office to conduct business as the Bandidos Motorcycle Club United States.
“They’ve been operating as a motorcycle club for many years,” William S. Morian Jr., general counsel for the Bandidos, said. “Steps were taken just to update their status. Bill Sartelle, and the national chapter, took steps to put it on paper.”
