A court hearing for two alleged members of the Vagos biker gang, facing multiple felony charges, has been rescheduled for next week following the discovery of drugs and a firearm during a search in Mojave, according to legal records.

Defendants and Charges

Robert Allen Klein, 56, has entered a not guilty plea to charges related to firearm possession, narcotics, gang activity, and reckless evasion. His co-defendant, James Melville Rogers Jr., 50, has also pleaded not guilty to charges of possessing ammunition illegally, receiving stolen property, and participating in gang-related activity.
