Methamphetamine
A Rochester Hills man was shocked to hear his son, a professor at Cal State San Bernardino in California, is accused of leading a motorcycle gang and methamphetamine drug operation.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Hank Kinzey said he was “sick to my stomach” when hearing about the allegations involving his son, Stephen J. Kinzey, who he described as a "Christian" and "good father."
Sept. 2, LA Times: “The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department on Thursday said Stephen J. Kinzey, a 43-year-old kinesiology professor, allegedly led a local chapter of the Devils Diciples Outlaw motorcycle gang and a methamphetamine drug operation.“Authorities arrested nine suspected mid- and street-level dealers involved in the drug ring shortly after raiding Kinzey's home, where they allegedly found more than a pound of methamphetamine, rifles, handguns, body armor, leather biker vests and other biker paraphernalia.”
According to the newspaper, Stephen Kinzey remains a fugitive and is considered armed and dangerous.
On Ratemyprofessors.com, a website that allows college students to rate their instructors, Stephen Kinzey ranks quite high, with a 4.3 out of five. Many students' ratings emphasize how helpful the 43-year-old was when they needed help with studying or homework.
The New York Times reports police are actively pursuing 15 other members of Devils Disciples.
Sept. 2, NY Times: “Mr. Kinzey lived in an upper-middle-class enclave in an immaculate two-story Spanish-style home with his girlfriend, Holly Robinson, 33. When the police came to the home last Friday, Ms. Robinson was arrested along with half a dozen other members of the gang, who were there to pick up their share of a one-pound delivery of methamphetamine, police officials said. Mr. Kinzey was not there.”According to the school's website, Kinzey taught kinesiology, the study of human movement, for the university's College of Natural Sciences.
