BN- A wounded biker who managed to escape May's deadly Twin Peaks restaurant shootout without arrest will have a bullet removed from his body after his death last week — from a motorcycle accident.
A search warrant filed this week in Texas against James (Spaz) Anderson, 53, seeks to extract the projectile from his forearm as evidence, according to local reports.
Authorities hope the bullet will help identify the weapon — among more than 100 firearms seized at the Waco "breastaurant" — used against him.
"We've been wondering where he was and why nobody was on him," Houston-based Defense Attorney Paul Looney, who is representing some of the bikers,told WFAA.
Nine people were killed and 18 others wounded in the May 17 blowout between rival biker gangs. It astonishingly ended with 177 bikers being arrested."Better late than never, but goodness gracious, sure would have thought they'd be on top of this long time ago," he said.
According to an affidavit cited by the Waco Tribune, a Longview police officer later tracked down Anderson, a member of the Bandidos, after receiving information that he had been involved in the shooting.
When the officer found him recovering at an area home from his gunshot wound, Anderson allegedly confessed to having been at the scene and fleeing before being identified by police or arrested. Exactly when that encounter was was not stated in the report.
Fast forward four months after the shooting, on Sept. 3 Anderson was riding on a highway among a group of bikers near Chadron, Nebraska when he fatally struck at least one deer in the road.
His online obituary lists him as an Army veteran, an electrician and a member of the Bar None Cowboy Church, an interdenominational church in Tatum, Tx.
