OFF THE WIRE

HELLS Angel Christian Manu Birch couldn't hide his disbelief at his jail term for drugs and firearms offences.


From the dock of Downing Centre District Court, the 41-year-old showed seven fingers to friends seated in the public gallery yesterday and said: "I'm f ... ed."
Judge Helen Syme ordered the Hells Angels road master be jailed for a minimum of 7½ years. Birch was arrested while riding his Harley-Davidson and dressed in Hells Angels colours on April 3, 2009.
Down his pants was a loaded, semi-automatic .45 pistol.
It followed an Australian Crime Commission investigation into the Hells Angels and the supply of party drug GHB.
Birch pleaded guilty to charges of supply commercial quantity of a prohibited drug and possess unauthorised
firearm. He will be eligible for patrol in October 2016.
