A fight that broke out in August at the Forty Bar and Grille in North Franklin Township caused 8 men to face preliminary hearings for their roles in the incident and all will face trial. Top charges for all men were Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) charges along with riot with intent to commit a felony charges. The crux of the prosecution’s argument centered on the fact that all men charged are members of the War Dogs Motorcycle Club and the victim, Jordan Henderson is a member of the Pagans Motorcycle Club and that is what caused the fight. Testimony came from Julia Quarture, the bartender that was on duty when the fight broke out. She described how Kenneth Haymon entered the bar and spoke to Henderson instigating the fight. The bar’s owner Cheyenne Bennison testified to activity at the scene when she arrived after being called by her bartender. Police testimony centered on surveillance video from the bar. Detective and expert witness testimony was offered building a case for the RICO charges. In the end, the judge dismissed The RICO charges and held charges for riot with intent to cause a felony. Clark Young, Robert Conner, Kristoper Gardner, Jerry Barnett, Daniel Ullrick, Paul Prevost, Zachary Williams and Benjamin Bowman will face that charge. Barnett, Young, Conner and Gardener all face assorted other charges including aggravated assault. Two other men, Eric Hadrych and Corey Palmer waived their cases to court prior to the hearings. Not charged in the case is Kenneth Hayden. He was killed in a separate incident in Allegheny County in October. All will be arraigned next month.
