A Pagan Motorcycle Club member who is serving a 20-40 year sentence in state prison dismissed his attorney to represent himself against additional charges. Matthew Vasquez is facing conspiracy to defraud creditors and defrauding of creditors charges. Vasquez tried to hide two motorcycles and avoid payment on them while he is in jail. Judge Valarie Costanzo granted Vasquez’s request to represent himself. Three other co-conspirators in the plot pleaded guilty last year. Vasquez was convicted on aggravated assault and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault charges in 2020 for his role in the beating of a rival motorcycle club member at the Charleroi Slovak Club in 2019. He is currently serving his sentence at SCI-Albion.
