An apparent dispute over an Evergreen man's wish to drop his affiliation with the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club came close to deadly last week.

A Denver man is now facing felony menacing charges after an arrest for allegations that he tried to run down a member of his motorcycle gang with a truck for quitting the group.

Todd Allan Zahn, 37, of Denver, and the apparent president of the Nomads/Hells Angels chapter, posted a $20,000 bond to get out of jail after his July 12 arrest in which fellow club member Donald Dilling, 52, accused the man of trying to run him down on the road.

"Dilling believes that the motivation for this action is that Zahn was going to attempt to forcibly remove a Hell's Angel's tattoo on his chest and then murder him," the affidavit stated.
