\"\"Five members and associates of a white supremacist gang were sentenced in Alaska this week to life in prison without the possibility of parole for racketeering, including murder in aid of racketeering, kidnapping, and other offenses, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The person formerly known as Timothy Lobdell, 46, who legally changed his name to \u201cFilthy Fuhrer\u201d (Lobdell); Roy Naughton, aka Thumper, 46; Glen Baldwin, aka Glen Dog, 41; Colter O\u2019Dell, 30; and Craig King, aka Oakie, 57, were convicted at trial of racketeering conspiracy, kidnapping resulting in death, and kidnapping conspiracy on May 2, 2022. Baldwin, O\u2019Dell, and King were each also convicted of murder in aid of racketeering. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lobdell and Naughton were also convicted of an additional two counts each of kidnapping conspiracy, kidnapping, and assault in aid of racketeering.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, the defendants were leaders, members, and associates of the 1488s, a violent, prison-based Neo-Nazi gang that operated inside and outside of state prisons throughout Alaska. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

The 1488s use Nazi-derived symbols to identify themselves and their affiliation with the gang, including a 1488 \u201cpatch\u201d tattoo which depicts an Iron Cross superimposed over a swastika. <\/span><\/p>\n

The tattoo can only be awarded to members who gained full membership by committing acts of violence on behalf of the gang. The gang enforced discipline through written rules and a code of conduct, including the boast that \u201cthe only currency we recognize is violence and unquestionable loyalty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lobdell founded and led the 1488 gang from inside a state maximum-security prison, where he was serving a 19-year sentence for the attempted murder of an Alaska State Trooper. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"In addition to directing acts of violence aimed at establishing the gang\u2019s dominance in the prison hierarchy, Lobdell ordered members of the gang to commit violent kidnappings and assaults in the \u201cfree world\u201d outside of prison. <\/span><\/p>\n

As part of a plan to impose greater organization and structure among non-incarcerated members, Lobdell insisted on punishing members that he perceived to be defying the 1488 code of conduct, which he believed diminished the power, influence, and reputation of the gang. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lobdell sent out a trusted lieutenant with a list of directives, which culminated in the kidnapping and assault of two lower-level gang members on April 2, 2017, and July 20, 2017, and the kidnapping, assault, and murder of 1488 member Michael Staton on Aug. 3, 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

On April 2, 2017, Roy Naughton and other 1488 members, acting at the direction of Lobdell, lured a victim to a gang meeting at Naughton\u2019s residence. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once there, the victim was taken into a basement, held at gunpoint, tied up, and assaulted. <\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the assault, the gang members shattered a lightbulb in his mouth and tattooed him with a racial epithet. The victim was threatened with more violence if the incident was reported to the police.<\/span><\/p>\n

On July 17, 2017, Lobdell called Naughton from prison. <\/span><\/p>\n

During the call, Naughton boasted about the April 2 assault, and reported to Lobdell that another member would be assaulted in the next few days. <\/span><\/p>\n

On July 20, 2017, a second victim was assaulted in a similar manner as the first victim and his 1488 membership \u201cpatch,\u201d which is a tattoo, was burned off.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2016, Naughton asked for and received permission from Lobdell to impose exceptionally severe discipline on Staton, who had previously stolen from both the 1488s and Craig King, who held himself out as a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. <\/span><\/p>\n

Naughton, King, Baldwin, and O\u2019Dell worked with other 1488 members to locate, kidnap, and murder Staton. <\/span><\/p>\n

On Aug. 3, 2017, 1488 members, including Baldwin and O\u2019Dell, lured Staton to Wasilla, Alaska, where they beat him and took him to King\u2019s duplex. <\/span><\/p>\n

After arriving, Staton was taken to an empty room, which had been lined with plastic sheeting. <\/span><\/p>\n

Inside the room, King and the 1488s beat and tortured the victim, including cutting off his 1488 tattoo with a knife that had been heated with a propane torch. <\/span><\/p>\n

The co-conspirators wrapped Staton in the plastic and carpeting, and Baldwin and O\u2019Dell drove him to a remote section of Wasilla, where they shot him and set fire to his body. <\/span><\/p>\n

O\u2019Dell was awarded full membership in 1488s for his role in the murder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trial Attorney Jeremy Franker of the Criminal Division\u2019s OCGS and Assistant U.S. Attorneys William Taylor, James Klugman, and Chris Schroeder for the District of Alaska prosecuted the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
