Posted 2023-02-03T10:04:29+00:00 - Updated 2023-02-03T22:05:54+00:00 Pagan bike leader sentenced to 75 years in federal prison By WRAL staffThe Raleigh-based leader of a national bike gang will spend the rest of his life in prison for trafficking massive amounts of methamphetamine and firearms across the East Coast.
Christopher Baker, who lives in Wake County, is a leader within the Pagan Motorcycle Club, recognized by federal officials as an outlaw motorcycle gang. He was sentenced Friday to 75 years in federal prison for trafficking methamphetamine.
Baker, 49, who is one of 20 men and women charged with dozens of drug and weapons crimes, had a drug trafficking network that spanned multiple states, officials said.
Of the 19 others sentenced as part of the federal operation, 12 are Pagan members, said Mike Easley, Jr., U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
Easley on Friday called Baker one of the most armed and violent drug dealers and one of 13 leaders in the Pagan Motorcycle Club's national network. Easley said Baker who rose through the ranks internationally using violence and intimidation.
Easley said Baker's 75-year sentence reflects his violence and "utter disregard for the law," adding Baker supplied over 260 kilograms of meth into the Raleigh area and entire East Coast. Easley said Baker's suppliers of meth and guns came from Atlanta, and he would have members of the Pagan gang drive him from Raleigh to Atlanta to pick and distribute the items.
On Friday, Easley said Baker has been stripped of his patches, his colors and his motorcycle.
"He will never feel the open road bikers have everyday . he will spend the rest of his life in federal prison," Easley said.
In addition to trafficking 100% pure meth -- a purity officials said they have not seen in this area in years -- Easley said Baker ordered the deaths of two people and the torturing of a prospective member of the Pagan gang who stole from another member. Officials said Baker ordered the man's fingers to be cut off with a saw while other Pagan members watched. Raleigh police and federal officials intervened to prevent the two deaths.
Officials also seized 49 weapons used in Baker's operation, including two fully automatic machine guns, which were on display at Friday's news conference along with photos of evidence, including helmets with swastikas, a known hate symbol.
Baker does not face any hate crime charges.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office on Friday will present new details about Christopher Baker, who they say is a motorcycle gang leader who lives in Wake County but is now headed to federal prison.
Social media accounts show all of the suspects are part of a rival biker group.
The five men charged with murder in connection to Padilla's death all face the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Arrest warrants state each man is accused of stealing a jacket valued at $200, using a handgun to shoot Padilla and conspiring "with four other defendants to commit felony of the robbery of dangerous weapon."

In July 2021, members of the Pagans and the Red Devils motorcycle gangs got into a fight leaving four men severely beaten and one shot in Clayton.
The Red Devils were also involved in a shoot out in Fayetteville in 2022, in which six people were shot and three were killed on Owen Drive.
Police said the Red Devils were involved, alongside the Hells Angels, the Infamous Riders and La Familia.
