Carlos Wesley Rose Sr., also known as "PitBull," who was president of the Kentucky chapter of the Wheels of Soul Outlaw Motorcycle Gang and a former corrections officer at the Kentucky State Reformatory, was sentenced Tuesday to nearly seven years in prison. Rose pleaded guilty to a federal racketeering charge in St. Louis in April. Federal prosecutors say Rose admitted to conspiring on two occasions to make pipe bombs to use against members of rival clubs in the Chicago area. Twenty-two people allegedly affiliated with Wheels of Soul were indicted last year by a federal grand jury in St. Louis on charges ranging from arson to kidnapping to murder.
