Police say rival motorcycle clubs fought outside Weirs restaurant

LACONIA — Police are investigating a reported fight allegedly between members of two rival motorcycle clubs at a Weirs restaurant Thursday night.

Police Chief Christopher Adams said at least six officers, most from his department, responded to a 9-1-1 call about a fight including some type of clubs, in the parking lot behind Heat Pizza on Rte. 3 North.

He said police statements taken indicated there were "at least two patch members" of the Hells Angels who allegedly mixed it up with at least "at least one patch member of the Devil's Disciples."

He said there were other people not necessarily identified as motorcycle club members involved and at least one man was beaten "bloody."

Adams said the man declined medical treatment, that the alleged members of the Hells Angels had left before police arrived.

He said police investigation revealed at least one Devil's Disciple and perhaps some "trainees" were shooting pool when the two Hells Angels and a few of their friends entered the restaurant.

He said witnesses told police words were spoken and the six or seven people left the restaurant to fight in the parking lot.

A woman who was at Heat Pizza said she didn't think the fight was as serious as was described by police and that whatever happened was over in about two minutes.

"Oh, I doubt it," the woman said when asked about police accounts of a baseball bat or other type of club being involved.
