A neighborhood guide for Potrero Hill, San Francisco



The clubhouse of the San Francisco chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle club is located on Tennessee Street in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of Dogpatch.

This past Thursday, FBI agents broke down doors of the house and arrested the club’s president, Joseph “Joey” Wilson, 35, and the club’s sergeant at arms, Jason “JB” Peterson, 32. Authorities said they found a pound of methamphetamine in the garage of a home that abuts the clubhouse.

FBI Supervising Special Agent Sean Ragan said Friday that the defendants were involved in a multimillion-dollar criminal enterprise involving methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana. “It was very well organized,” he said.

This is not the first time the clubhouse has been raided in recent years.

In December 2003, agents raided the Tennessee Street headquarters and other motorcycle gang hangouts across the West, making a total of 57 arrests after a two-year undercover investigation into methamphetamine trafficking and gun dealing.
