JERSEY CITY, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- A high-ranking motorcycle gang member on Monday pleaded guilty to charges after authorities found drugs and a firearm in his residence while executing a search warrant last year, New Jersey authorities announced.
According to officials, 33-year-old Daniel Hooban, also known as “White Boy,” was the sergeant at arms of the Pagan’s motorcycle club’s Jersey City chapter when he was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; possession with intent to distribute a quantity of cocaine; and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
Hooban was arrested in June 2020 after a search warrant was executed at his home as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation where approximately 30 grams of cocaine, eight grams of cocaine base, and a loaded firearm were recovered by law enforcement, according to a criminal complaint.
He pleaded guilty to all three charges in federal court via Zoom on Monday and will remain out on bail until his sentencing on April 19, according to court documents.
Hooban was among the 11 members of the Pagans who were arrested and charged following an investigation by federal authorities for their involvement in violent assaults, drug distribution and shootings across New Jersey, authorities said.
