Six members of the Pagans Motorcycle Club will stand trial on charges of attempted homicide after security camera footage of the alleged attack was shown in court Tuesday.
Charleroi Regional Police and Washington County detectives allege that seven members of the Pagans went to the Slovak Club in the borough April 18 with the intent to kill former Pagan Troy Harris.
Harris’ wife, Michelle, testified that she was also assaulted as she tried to intervene and protect her husband.
Preliminary hearings were held Tuesday for Paul Cochran of North Charleroi, Jason Huff of Plum, Joshua Pagliei of Pleasant Hills, John Sadvary of Verona, Matthew Vasquez of Monessen and Corey Volk of West Newton. They were each held for trial on charges of attempted homicide, conspiracy to commit homicide, aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and simple assault.
