David Carroll

David MacDonald Carroll (born 1 April 1952), better known as "Wolf", is a Canadian outlaw biker and reputed gangster who was a member of the elite Nomad chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club in Quebec. He disappeared in March 2001 after being indicted on 13 counts of first-degree murder. Early career Carroll was born and grew up in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. He became the leader of a local biker gang called the Thirteenth Tribe in Halifax. The Halifax underworld is very closely linked to the Montreal underworld and Carroll soon had an alliance with the Hells Angels of Montreal. The Thirteenth Tribe won the trust of the Hells Angels by providing in the fall of 1984 bodyguards for Walter "Nurget" Stadnick as he was recovering in a Hamilton hospital from the traffic incident that disfigured his face. A nurse recalled: "It was crazy; most of the day there were these big, burly bikers outside his room. And the rest of the time it was these big, burly cops – it was like he was a rock star or something. You could tell these bikers were small-town boys; they weren't used to the cops like what we had here in Hamilton. They used to taunt and tease the bikers all the time – trying to start a fight, eh?". The 6'3 policeman and former football player John Gordon Harris warned Carroll that if he did not cease his unruly behavior, he would him along the rest of the 13th Tribe arrested. On 5 December 1984, the Thirteenth Tribe became the first Hells Angels chapter in Atlantic Canada with Carroll as chapter president. A report from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) described the "patch over" of the Thirteenth Tribe as a move "to consolidate control of drug trafficking on Canada's East Coast". Hells Angels The Hells Angels hitman Yves "Apache" Trudeau was told by the West End Gang boss Allan "The Weasel" Ross that he should collect the money owned to him for four murders that Ross had hired him to commit from the Hells Angels chapters in Halifax and Sorel, which were in debt to Ross. Ross promised Trudeau that he was willing to forgive those debts if the two chapters paid the money owed to him to Trudeau instead. Carroll, as the president of the Angels' Halifax chapter, paid Trudeau $98,000. Carroll later learned that the Laval chapter was actually entitled to one-quarter of the money, and that Trudeau had used the extra money to support his cocaine addiction.
