PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- State police said they have uncovered a plot by a member of the Berkshire County chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang to frame a witness in his criminal case.
Police told The Berkshire Eagle that 33-year-old Adam Lee Hall was the mastermind behind a fabricated crime in upstate New York intended to discredit David Glasser of Pittsfield.
A woman told police that Glasser had robbed her and tried to kill her in Wells, N.Y. on Aug. 14. Another man allegedly planted evidence in Glasser's car. Police say both worked under Hall's orders.
Charges against Glasser have been dismissed.
Authorities said Glasser is a key government witness in Hall's upcoming trial on numerous charges, including assault and drug offenses. Police are still looking for Hall, who lives in the town of Peru.
