William Alnas Jr., age 55, received a 14-month federal prison sentence for selling methamphetamine and firearms to an undercover agent while leading the Hollister chapter of the Top Hatters Motorcycle Club. He pleaded guilty to a meth sales charge and must report to prison in October. The investigation began after an informant linked Alnas to drug sales, with Alnas using coded language to communicate about drug and gun transactions. He expressed remorse in court and cited addiction as a factor in his criminal activities, pledging to pursue a better path post-sentence.
Alnas expressed deep regret for his actions, acknowledging that his addiction clouded his judgment, leading him to neglect the broader societal consequences of selling drugs and firearms.
Alnas's involvement in drug dealing and firearms sales occurred while he held the position of president of the Hollister chapter of the Top Hatters Motorcycle Club, a support club for Hells Angels.
Undercover operations led to Alnas selling multiple one-pound packets of methamphetamine and various firearms to a law enforcement agent, following connections made through a confidential FBI informant.
During sentencing, Alnas emphasized his commitment to facing his addiction and trying to pursue a more productive, positive path after his prison term.
