    Thumbs down Watch out for the "Vietnam Veterans Outlaw Motorcycle Gang"

    BARRE, VERMONT — The man allegedly responsible for stabbing two Barre men earlier this month is now sitting in an Ohio jail cell thanks to his cell phone.

    According to published reports out of Ohio, authorities there were apparently told to be on the lookout for Michael Kirkman, 33, of Barre after Granite City police traced his cell phone calls to the Canton area Friday afternoon.

    Although it is still not completely clear when and why police focused on Kirkman as a suspect in the April 14 stabbings of Robert Jackman, 22, and Dustin Broad, Jackman's 21-year-old nephew, reports indicate the Carroll County Sheriff's Department was notified shortly before noon Saturday that he may be in their area.

    Less than five hours later – at about 4:30 p.m. – Kirkman, who was considered "armed and dangerous" at the time, was taken into custody without incident.

    According to published reports, Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams made the arrest hours after receiving a teletype from Barre police describing Kirkman was a member of the "Vietnam Veterans Outlaw Motorcycle Gang."

    During a special city council meeting in Barre Saturday morning, City Manager John Craig asked Police Chief Tim Bombardier if he wanted to brief the council on motorcycle gang activity while reminding him the press was in the room. Bombardier didn't respond and when asked about it later Craig claimed that he was "just joking."

    According to Ohio press accounts, Kirkland was arrested shortly after a deputy spotted him riding a red 1982 Harley-Davidson.

    Barre Detective Larry Eastman issued a brief press release acknowledging Kirkman's arrest early Saturday evening. Eastman suggested Kirkman fled the state to avoid prosecution in the wake of the stabbings that seriously injured both victims, but offered no additional details.

    Jackman and Broad were both rushed to the hospital following an evening altercation that reportedly occurred on North Main Street not far from Dente's Market.

    Jackman, who underwent surgery for multiple internal injuries and spent four days in the intensive care unit at Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin, was released from the hospital a week ago today. Broad, who was stabbed in both the spleen and the hip, was released from Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington the day before.

    Kirkman, who is now awaiting extradition to Vermont, is expected to be charged with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and obstructing justice.

    It is unclear how long Kirkman had been living in Barre, but multiple press accounts indicate he is formerly from Ohio and at least one indicates he had a criminal record there. Kirkman – known as "Ink" due to his multiple tattoos – went to prison in 2008 for receiving stolen property and in 2004 for felony intimidation of an attorney victim or witness in a criminal case and aggravated menacing, according to the news source CantonRep.com.

    There has to be more to this story. Maybe the news agency or police are confused

    Well, they are the Vietnam Veteran Outlaw Motorcycle Gang.
    Perhaps, they are such outlaws that they don't have to follow their own laws for membership?

    Do you think reporters earning 11 dollars an hour really care about checking the facts or just making the deadlines ?

    No Pulitzer Prizes have ever been won by the Times-Argus .

    Re: Watch out for the "Vietnam Veterans Outlaw Motorcycle Gang"

    I went to a "Hells Angels" party down in Wareham...buncha fat old dudes and busted looking broads.The member throwing the party had a grand old time flashing his junk at his neighbors until they called the cops and promptly cuffed and stuffed him.I was riding a CBR1000 at the time and had to listen to this dude who rode a Intruder give me crap about my rice rocket...I thought all "Hells Angels" were supposed to ride Harleys??? I got the "Hell" outta there after the first cops left....what a bunch of losers....

    Either it wasn't an Intruder or it wasn't an HA.

    That is a possibilty but unless it was pre-evo that is not as likely either.
