Corrections

  • A previous version of this story incorrectly reported that five gang members were arrested, including two members of the Silent Soldiers. In fact, six people in total were charged or were facing charges. Three alleged members of the Rock Machine were charged and had made court appearances. One alleged member of the Silent Soldiers was facing charges, but had not yet been arrested. Police did not accuse the other two people facing charges of being gang affiliated.
