A Shirley, Mass., man was one of two members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club convicted of assault in connection with a stabbing at last summer's Sturgis motorcycle rally.
The Rapid City Journal reports (http://bit.ly/wE2pRp) that fifty-seven-year-old George James Caruso, of Shirley was convicted of simple assault, a misdemeanor. Mark Allen Duclos, 48, of Fairbanks, Alaska, was convicted of aggravated assault, which is a felony.
