ASouthern California Sheriff's Deputy has reportedly been living a double life as an outlaw member of a notorious motorcycle gang. The authorities discovered a plethora of firearms at the man's home, including a shotgun that was stolen from his department, according to the New York Post.

Christopher Bingham, 45, was taken into custody after he was caught riding with two other members of a motorcycle gang on March 23. He's an 18-year veteran of the Sheriff's Department. When the authorities arrested him, they found an unloaded and unregistered firearm.

Bingham was subsequently booked at the Smith Correctional Facility. However, he was later released.

The department had been on the former deputy's trail since January 2024 after they found that he had been riding and socializing with members of the biker gang. Officials soon opened an investigation into the deputy, per the report.

As a result, investigators with the Gangs/Narcotics Division obtained a search warrant for Bingham's home in Twentynine Palms, California, following his arrest.

The San Bernadino Sun reported that Bingham was taken to jail wearing a t-shirt that read: "(Expletive) the 81!" The number "81" is reportedly a nickname for the Hells Angels — a longtime rival of the Mongols gangs, which is the gang Bingham reportedly associated with.

The t-shirt also had "SYLM" scrawled on it, which stands for "Support Your Local Mongols," per reports.

While Bingham was being held in jail, investigators searched his home. They reportedly found around 160 firearms, including a modified, fully automatic assault rifle with a grenade launcher attached to it. They also discovered a customized AR-15 assault rifle with a 12-inch barrel.

District Attorney Jason Anderson was not able to say whether Bingham has been suspected of trafficking firearms for the Mongols. He was also unable to provide detailed information about Bingham's affiliation with the biker gang.

Despite the lack of details, Anderson was able to say that "[t]his appears to involve the Mongols, without question."

San Bernadino Sheriff Shannon Dicus said the following in a statement: “The actions of this deputy are alarming and inexcusable; he not only tarnishes his badge but also undermines the integrity and credibility of the entire department."

“Criminal behavior will not be tolerated, and we have placed him on compulsory leave effective immediately. The investigation has been forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office, and charges have been filed.”

Bingham faces multiple felony charges, but the investigation is still ongoing.

Well three, if ya count Satan, pretty sure that comes included with Outlaw Bikers.

Hmmmm

Good riddance. Can't be apart of an O.M.G. and LE...

Agreed.

1%ers are absolute scum of the earth.

UC?

Wonder why he didn't join the Banditos, Jump Out Boys, Executioners, or Grim Reapers? Los Angeles County appears to be under an hour and a half driving time(@60 miles) obeying the speed limit so he could have hooked up with members of those gangs in under an hour and his higher ups should have been ok with those.

Not good

What a dumbass, lol.

He's a true outlaw now.

Not saying I agree with what I am about to say
But I Gotta say it

Double Standard
It is A OK for Law Enforcement to go under cover and join an outlaw Biker club
But
It is not OK when a Law Man joins a Club on his own.

What Gives.

This can’t be a serious question

I said I did not agree with what I was about to say.

who knows maybe part of some very elaborate undercover operation..

No, you didn’t. You left it ambiguous.

Got to thinking, this happened in September of 2022

And San Bernardino has been avoiding/fighting the release of information until recently. According to the OP, Deputy Bingham allegedly hooked up with the Mongols recently as well.

Maybe the stress of agency pressure to sweep the hostage shooting details under the rug caused him to have some sort of breakdown that manifested itself as joining a private sector group?

Apparently agencies having criminal gangs comprised of officers isn't considered a problem worth hammering so it isn't that much different to join a private sector criminal gang.

An unloaded and unregistered firearm should be enough for a threat to seek the death penalty. And what could be a short barreled rifle is enough to get a prosecutor aroused. I hope they say mean things to him. The BATFandE will be along shortly.

PRK.gov and vassals of the feudal system certainly don't like the subjects of the realm being armed.

I hope they make him wear mismatched socks. Having guns is a sure sign of mental illness.

Total Double Standard... Not OK when an Outlaw Biker joins Law enforcement... "That's Different!" Laugh out Fuqking Loud...
