2 Pagans motorcycle gang members charged in fight at Pittsburgh-area bar, officials say

Two members of the Pagans outlaw motorcycle gang are facing charges in a fight at a bar in Westmoreland County earlier this year, authorities said.

Robert Browne and Devin Colucci are charged with robbery, simple assault, theft, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, and harassment in connection with an assault at Mogie's Irish Pub in Lower Burrell on Jan. 22, the Westmoreland County District Attorney's Office said in a news release on Wednesday. Colucci, 25, is also facing a charge of possessing a prohibited and offensive weapon. 

Authorities said police were called to the bar after a 70-year-old man was assaulted. The man told officers, according to the news release, that he was at the bar and noticed that two other people inside were affiliated with the Pagans. 

Browne, 27, and Colucci then arrived at Mogie's, with Colucci confronting the 70-year-old man in the parking lot, saying he was not "allowed in the area because it was the Pagans territory," the news release said. Officials said the man had an "Outlaw OMG" shirt on, which references the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, a rival of the Pagans. 

When Colucci and the man tried to reenter the bar, the DA's office said Colucci and Browne attacked the man, ripping his shirt, kicking him and breaking his glasses.   

The news release said investigators reviewed surveillance video of the assault, which confirmed what the victim told law enforcement.

At a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, all charges were held for court for Browne and Colucci, the news release said. They are both in the Westmoreland County Prison on $300,000 bond.
