Motorcycle traffic control is based on alleged incident in Wamsutter

ROCK SPRINGS – A series of traffic stops involving motorcyclists west of Rock Springs were related to an incident between rival biker groups in Wamsutter on Tuesday.

According to Jason Mower of the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office, the traffic stops were due to an alleged confrontation between a Hells Angels motorcyclist and other Mongols motorcyclists. Mower said he did not know the details, but the confrontation allegedly stemmed from the Mongols members asking the Hells Angels member to remove her vest, and when that request was refused, the Mongols members allegedly took the vest from the Hells Angels member and took it with them. He said the Hells Angels member allegedly became stranded in Wamsutter because his motorcycle key was in the vest.

Mower said there was at least one arrest, but the exact number of arrests and the charges that led to the arrests were not available at the time of this post’s publication. In addition, the identities of those arrested were also not available at the time of this post’s publication. Sweetwater County Prosecutor Daniel Erramouspe said he could not comment at this time, but his office is working on the case.
