Project Divide target pleads guilty | Winnipeg | News | Winnipeg Sun: "Stuart Richer liked to run with gangsters and party with strippers.
He might still be a free man if he didn’t add drug dealing to the mix.
Richer, 44, pleaded guilty to one count of drug trafficking and was sentenced Friday to four years in prison.
Richer was one of 33 people arrested in a year-long police investigation dubbed Project Divide that targeted members and associates of the Zig Zag Crew, the so-called “puppet club” of the Manitoba Hells Angels.
As in similar stings police enlisted the aid of a paid criminal agent, Zig-Zagger Michael Satsatin, to ensnare criminal targets.
Richer wasn’t an original target of the investigation, but came to police attention through his association with accused Zig-Zagger Ronald Normand.
Police surveillance captured Richer “facilitating” the sale of 55 grams of crystal meth to Satsatin.
Court heard Richer ran errands for Normand and chauffeured him about town for “debt collections.”
Richer received little money for his time — high times in low places were reward enough. Police surveillance captured Richer at a Hells Angels-controlled strip bar, bragging how he received “VIP treatment.”"
