A member of the Hells Angels is due to appear in a New Hampshire court on environmental violations.Attorney Lauren Noether, who heads up the Environmental Protection Division of the state Attorney General's Office, confirms that the state filed a motion in January to impose a jail sentence against Edward Shaughnessy of Gilford and Black Oaks LLC.Shaughnessy was previously convicted of violating a series of environmental protection laws after he built a road through wetlands involving land that he owns.Local authorities say a portion of the property near where the environmental laws were breached is the location of a clubhouse used by members of the motorcycle club.The state is charging that Shaughnessy and the limited liability corporation, which he controlled, have not complied with a sentencing order requiring him to submit a restoration plan and an application for a wetlands permit to the Environmental Services Department.Shaughnessy is expected back in Belknap County Superior Court on Friday.
