Two ex-Hells Angels, Kristopher Smith and William Thompson, just got nailed on serious charges after a high-stakes undercover sting that began in 2018. In February 2020, they sold an Uzi to a Mountie — Smith handled the deal while Thompson handed over the gun for $8,500 cash. The operation was even wilder: the cop first bought coke from another Angel, then Smith orchestrated the Uzi sale. Two weeks later, when the cop complained the gun wasn’t fully automatic, Thompson refused to refund — and joked the cop might be a cop himself. Smith also took the fall for trafficking cocaine and oxycodone via a Facebook Marketplace scam involving shoes hiding drugs, plus transferring another firearm. Thompson’s charges include unlicensed guns and trafficking cocaine. Both are set for sentencing on September 28th — and this one’s gonna be messy.
