The 27-year-old founder of a Sikh motorcycle club that prosecutors say was linked to the notorious Hells Angels has been sentenced for illegally dealing in firearms and unlawful possession of a machine gun.
Jashanpreet Singh of Lodi, California, north of Stockton, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Dale Drozd to five years and four months in federal prison, according to a news release issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California. Singh was founder of the Stockton-based Punjabi Devils.
On June 6, 2025, the U.S. attorney’s office said, Singh attempted to sell several weapons to an undercover officer, including a short-barreled rifle, three assault weapons, three machine gun conversion devices and a revolver.
A subsequent search of Singh’s residence turned up more firearms, including a machine gun, a fourth conversion device and a silencer, the office said.
Additionally, officers found a pineapple-style capped and fused hand grenade and what was believed to be a military electronic capped Claymore mine, a post-World War II explosive device. The items were destroyed at the scene by the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Department’s bomb squad.
