Nanaimo Hells Angel pleads guilty to selling cocaine, illicit pot
A full-patch member of the Nanaimo Hells Angels has pleaded guilty to three counts of trafficking cocaine and one of illegally selling cannabis.
Sean Oliver Kendall, 44, appeared in Vancouver provincial court on Monday and entered the pleas. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for October.
Kendall, who lives in Port Alberni, was arrested in December, along with another Hells Angel and two associates after a major drug trafficking investigation on Vancouver Island targeting the biker gang and some of its affiliated puppet clubs.
Federal prosecutors approved 41 charges against Kendall, full-patch Hells Angels William Paulsen, former HA member Kristopher Smith, and associate William Thompson.
Kendall admitted to trafficking cocaine in Nanaimo in December 2019 and February 2020 and in Vancouver on March 5, 2020. The cannabis count related to a Nanaimo incident on Dec. 18, 2019, court records show.
