A 2022 Blue Springs motorcycle club attack moved back into focus this week after Bryan S. Fletcher was sentenced and Jeffrey S. Hannah entered a guilty plea in the same federal case, giving the public a fresh look at one of the more violent rival-club incidents tied to the Kansas City area.
Both developments were announced on April 7, 2026, nearly three and a half years after a lone rival club member was forced off the road and later hit by gunfire multiple times.
In the sentencing update, Bryan S. Fletcher, 49, also known as “Fletch,” received 84 months in federal prison without parole. Federal court records say Fletcher pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering and possession of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.
Prosecutors said the case traces back to September 17, 2022, when Fletcher and other members of the Pagan’s Motorcycle Gang and its support club, Los Valerosos, chased a rival club member and “forced a lone rival gang member from the road” in Blue Springs.
That same day, a separate federal filing showed Jeffrey S. Hannah, 43, also known as “Got-It,” of Grain Valley, pleaded guilty in connection with the very same roadside attack.

Unlike Fletcher, Hannah has not yet been sentenced. Federal prosecutors say he now faces at least five years and up to life in prison, with a sentencing hearing still to come.
The details of the assault are what make the case so severe. Federal court records say various members of the Pagan’s and Los Valerosos were armed with firearms and at least one axe handle when they confronted the victim on the side of the roadway.
The victim was then hit by gunfire seven times, suffering wounds to the knee, thigh, forearm, biceps, buttocks, and the back of his leg.
Fletcher and several others fled before law enforcement arrived. The same records place Hannah in that roadside confrontation as part of the group that cornered the victim after the chase.
What stands out about this week’s update is that it did not come from a new incident, but from the federal system continuing to work through a case that already had serious violence at its center.
Fletcher’s sentence closes one chapter, but Hannah’s guilty plea makes clear the case is still moving.
The investigation involved multiple agencies, including the FBI, the Blue Springs Police Department, the Independence Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department.
With Fletcher now sentenced and Hannah awaiting punishment, the case remains one of the more striking recent examples of how a single violent encounter can keep unfolding in court years after it first happened.
