David (Shaky Dave) Atwell was paid about $450,000 to work as a police agent during an 18-month investigation targeting the Hells Angels in Ontario.

Undercover police agent David (Shaky Dave) Atwell was repeatedly scolded by his police handlers and Hells Angels friends to stop his cocaine use, court heard today.
“I was feeling very stressed,” Atwell said during the Superior Court trial of Thomas Bogiatzis, who was charged with trafficking cocaine and conspiracy to traffic. Bogiatzis is not a member of the Hells Angels.
“I was feeling very alone as an agent,” Atwell said. “I felt I had no friends. I let my guard down.”
Court heard that Atwell snorted a line of cocaine in Vienna with a Hells Angel member while discussing the possibility of a drug shipment into Toronto.
He also snorted the drug off a CD case in the washroom of a biker clubhouse near London, Ont.
Atwell said senior Toronto Hells Angel Donnie Petersen and downtown Toronto Hells Angel president John Neale chided him over his cocaine use at the same time he was working with police in his undercover operation.
Atwell said his reputation in the Hells Angels was that of a frequent cocaine user and if he halted use of the drug suddenly, it would have blown his cover.
“It’s all over the place,” Atwell said under cross-examination from defence lawyer Glen Orr. “It’s just like hors d'oeuvres at a party.”
Orr noted that Atwell also smoked at joint of hashish and marijuana with Larry Pooler, another member of the downtown Toronto Hells Angel chapter.
“Why would you do it?” Orr asked.
“It’s a very difficult thing, being an undercover agent, and you have to keep up appearances,” he replied.
Court earlier heard Atwell was paid about $450,000 to work as a police agent during an 18-month investigation targeting the Hells Angels in Ontario.

  1. You turned on your family, for money; creating what your handlers wanted to hear in order to get money. Any such action like cutting off your right arm. What kind of life will you live?
    I am sure the closest to you are not proud of what you became.
    Hang your head in shame, and never plan to establish yourself in my community. Its only a matter of time before someone posts your picture and article on Wikipedia for the world to see.
    Prepare to live a lonely life looking over your shoulder at all times; like a scarred little girl.

  2. When did we become a society of goddamn rats man? I would way rather have the Hells Angels around than MS-13 or some testosterone fueled gangbanger that would kill you soon as look at you.
