December 18, 2012, 11 years ago
Former BURY YOUR DEAD guitarist Eric Ellis (2004-2008) has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison as a result of his involvement in a gang called the Guardians.
According to court documents, inspired by the television show Sons of Anarchy, Ellis was an associate of the Guardians. The gang committed a series of violent felonies and crimes, including an extortion that left one man nearly dead; the choking of a young woman until she passed out; armed bank robberies; armed home invasions; daily cocaine and opiate sales; and theft of thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise from local stores. Arrests were made in November 2010 when an investigation revealed that the gang was preparing to commit additional home invasion robberies. The robberies committed by the Guardians resulted in the loss of almost $2 million to their victims.
