Hells Angels Leader Files Claims Over Fair

Hells Angels leader George Christie Jr., who was denied entry to the Ventura County Fair for the second time last year because of his biker attire, has filed legal claims against the city of Ventura and the state agency that operates the fairgrounds for allegedly violating his civil rights.

Their refusal of entry was based on a policy that bans gang attire and tattoos at the fair. The policy was recommended by the Police Department, drafted by the city attorney’s office and then adopted by the fair board.
