Mongols motorcycle club leader charged in Bike Week brawl is back behind bars

Mongols motorcycle leader Clinton Walker, charged in the Bike Week brawl, is back in Volusia County jail after he was accused of punching a man in Manatee County.

A Mongols motorcycle gang leader facing charges in a Bike Week brawl is back in jail as prosecutors seek to revoke his bond after he was accused of punching a driver in Bradenton, according to court records.

Clinton Walker, 42, of Bradenton, is a Mongol leader who “holds rank as one of two ‘Mother Chapter’ representatives,” according to court records.

Walker was arrested Nov. 10 and is being held in the Volusia County Branch Jail.

Walker is among about 30 Mongols arrested charged in what law enforcement dubbed “Operation Mongolian Beef” following a Bike Week brawl on March 8 at a RaceTrac in New Smyrna Beach. Mongols battled members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang. During that brawl, Walker was video recorded firing a gun, according to court records. Others also drew guns.

A Mongols member was shot in the abdomen and a Warlock’s head was grazed by a bullet. Both claimed the wounds were from accidental discharges of firearms.

Mongols drove from their clubhouse in Edgewater to confront the Warlocks, according to a charging affidavit.

Walker and other Mongols were charged with aggravated rioting and conspiracy to commit aggravated rioting in the Bike Week incident.

No Warlocks were charged.

Mongols leader accused of punching driver

Assistant State Attorney Helen Schwartz filed a motion on Nov. 6 to revoke Walker’s bond in the Bike Week brawl case based on an arrest warrant issued for Walker out of Manatee County on a charge of burglary with a battery, conveyance, a first-degree felony punishable by up to life in prison.

The incident happened on Oct. 16 in Bradenton. A man was driving his vehicle when he found the road he wanted to take blocked by construction, according to a court document. The driver then cut through the grass at a residence. A man walked out of a house and yelled at the driver for cutting through the grass, the document stated.

The argument escalated when the man from the house walked around the vehicle from the passenger’s side window to the driver’s side window. He then opened the vehicle’s door and punched the driver three times in the face, the document stated.

The man then drove away in a black Corvette with a Bucanneers specialty tag. The driver who was punched described the man as about 5 feet 7 inches, muscular, bald, with a beard and tattoos all over his body including near his left eye, the court document states.

The driver suffered injuries to his left temple and left side of his neck but declined treatment at the scene.

Arrest warrant issued for Mongol’s leader

An officer described the man to a woman outside the home. She said it was Walker, but declined to answer more questions unless police gave her additional information about the investigation, the document stated.

The driver picked Walker out of a photo lineup as the man who punched him, according to the document.

A Manatee County judge then issued an arrest warrant for Walker.
