A high-ranking member of the Hells Angels Simcoe chapter was found guilty yesterday of trafficking drugs for the benefit of a criminal organization.

According to prosecutor Tom Andreopoulos, Brian Jeffrey was the chapter's "sergeant at arms."

He pleaded guilty to charges of drug trafficking and to possession of the proceeds of a crime, but not guilty to criminal organization charges on the basis, his lawyers argued, that the Hells Angels are not a criminal organization.
