BOSTON (AP) The man described by authorities as the regional leader of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club has been sentenced to more than 2 years in prison for being in possession of an unregistered gun, prosecutors said.
Bruce “Monster” Sartwell, 48, of East Bridgewater, was sentenced Wednesday to 2 years and 3 months behind bars and three years of probation, according to the U.S. attorney s office in Boston. He pleaded guilty in July.
Federal authorities in October 2019 intercepted a package from China addressed to Sartwell that was labeled as a fuel filter, but which authorities said actually contained a firearms silencer.
