 Welcome into the original gangsters podcast. I'm your host Scott Bernstein quick hitter edition. We're going to go up out to Salem, Massachusetts. We're going to talk a little bit about the Hell's Angels in New England and the return of a pretty notorious Hell's Angel enforcer, Johnny Bart. John Bartolomeo aka Johnny Bart, who back in the day was the youngest full patch Hell's Angels member in Massachusetts has been locked up for about 30 years, came home at the end of 2023. He's in a halfway house. He'll be in that halfway house until August of this year, but his return was met with quite a bit of happiness. I guess in that area, people were thrilled to have him back on the scene. He was as as feared as he was was as well liked as he was from talking to my sources in the Salem, Massachusetts chapter back in the 90s and was in the front on the front lines of a war against the devil's disciples. According to his pre-sentence report in the case that he took, which was a record tearing drug case, he copped to the drug counts and got a 35 year sentence to 27 years. But according to his pre-sentence report, he was kind of made his bones and made his reputation as as a player as a power to be reckoned with in the biker world on the East Coast. He was really assassinating a devil's disciples boss, the boss of a devil's disciples chapter in Massachusetts guy by the name of Billy the cat Michaels, July of 95. According to the pre-sentence report, Johnny Bart stalked him from a car. Billy the cat Michaels was on his on his bike and Johnny Bart vehicular homicided Billy the cat Michaels rammed him with his with his car rammed his bike with his car and then and drug him for or dragged him for for a while until he was unconscious. And this was something that was really celebrated in the Hell's Angels world. He was arrested about a year later and copped copped his plea in 98. But you know, Johnny Bart is is a name that rings loud in in in Massachusetts and all of New England when it comes into the to the Hell's Angels and I know that right now he's he's keeping his head low. Staying trying to stay below the radar when he first came out of prison and did an interview on YouTube with a convict convict Inc. Station, I believe, or channel also did an article or contributed to an article on substack as a quote for somebody that was writing an article about what people should expect going into federal prison. But I think there are questions about how he fits back in to the Hell's Angels Empire or if he fits back in. There's questions about how what's going on in Massachusetts and parts of New York play into what's going on up up in Montreal in Canada with this great Canadian mafia biker war that's been popping off lately. But Johnny Bart is back in New England back in Massachusetts in a halfway house after almost 30 years. Youngest Hell's Angel, full patch member back in the late 80s, early 90s. Welcome home, Johnny Bart. Scott Bernstein, OG pod out.
