Me, Making Meth For A Biker Gang? Nonsense!

Nice looking guy, isn't he? That baby blue shirt that hasn't been ironed properly, the salt-and-pepper hair that's reminiscent of George Walker Bush, and a grin so grimy you'd wish someone would knock jar his teeth lose. The scumbag in the photo above, Michael Spadafora, lives in nearby Exeter Township with his wife and four kids. He runs his own business - a vending company that probably makes a killing at various locations with tasty treats like potato chips, pretzels, candy, and other non-nutritious foods. He hasn't fled from the cops and swears the bail money he has to post (now $500,000 instead of the original $1 million announced by the court) is coming from a relative's money-market account.

Oh, and he's running a meth operation alongside three other people in the immediate area. What?

Yeah, it seems any clown with a nickel smile and a gut the size of a Volkswagon Beetle can be your criminal next door. Deputy Attorney General Robert Rosner says his office has information that Spadafora, along with another Berks County couple (Randy and Holly Cronrath) and a Montgomery County man (Michael Sexton), had devised a scheme to make and sell meth from their homes, with the Warlock Motorcycle Club puppeteering the entire plan. A shipping container had been converted in Sexton's backyard to a methamphetamine laboratory. The Cronrath clan kept the meth in baggies in their shed to sell to clientele who desired to get higher than a hot air balloon. And Spadafora had guns, chemicals, and a large sum of cash in his home.

The icing on the cake? Spadafora, the slimeball, had a life-size cutout of a police officer he'd been using as target practice with his pistol.

The Warlock Motorcycle Club is based out of both Delaware County and South Jersey. As all stereotypes generally work, the bikers are neck-high in illegal activities such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and extortion. To make the plot even deeper the Warlock Motorcycle Club has close ties to the Scarfo crime family in Philadelphia and other Cosa Nostra families who have customers to please and people to humiliate.

Man, this whole story is like a movie gone wrong. If you follow the leads right from Philadelphia on up to Reading it seems that the Scarfo family (who is still highly active today in South Philly) is working under the radar with a decrepit band of bikers getting their methamphetamine fix from four dolts around Reading. The best part is, Spadafora knew he was going to be arrested on October 16th - and yet didn't run from the law. Is this because he wanted the operation exposed? Or does he have a lawyer who is so dirty and embedded with the Mafia he'll have no problem getting out of this jam?

You know, what goes around comes around Mister Worry-Free. Look what happened in the case with Kyle Quinn - somehow Tim Gearhart only got twenty to forty in the pen but his accomplices are set to get a whopping forty to sixty years for their hand in his murder. Do you really think that, by getting your bail dropped 50% its retail value, you're going to skip on home to your moron of a wife and kids that live on Cloud Nine? I'm pretty sure that both the Scarfo family and the Warlocks won't have a problem hanging you out to dry and letting you serve a stint in prison. It's quite alright though. You'll have friends behind bars at least.

Just pray your skilled hands don't drop the soap - otherwise you're going to be singing the chorus of the angels in the near future.
