A trial for the East Bridgewater man described by prosecutors as the regional boss of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club could last up to five days if he decides to fight a pending federal gun charge, records show.
A status conference in the case against Bruce “Monster” Sartwell, 48, was held Monday in US District Court in Boston, according to legal filings.
During the hearing, the parties indicated that if the matter “were to go to trial it would last approximately 3-5 days,” a legal document said. The filing said most of the discovery has been provided, and prosecutors expect “to produce additional discovery in [the] near future.”
Sartwell pleaded not guilty in January to a sole count of possession of an unregistered firearm, and on Feb. 14, Judge Denise J. Casper denied his motion for pre-trial release. He’s been held since his arrest last October.
He’s accused of possessing an unregistered AR-15 style rifle at his residence.
