Stéphane "Fesses" Plouffe
Hells Angels Montreal Chapter
    Stéphane Plouffe was born in the late 1960s and joined the Death Riders biker gang, an organization active in the lower Laurentians and Laval, in the late 1980s or early 1990s. By  the  time  Plouffe  was 25 years  old, he was already being described as the group's leader.

     30 Surete du Quebec police officers raided the  Death Riders' clubhouse in Sainte-Therese early in the morning on September 20, 1994. They seized five Harley Davidson  motorcycles, several firearms  and machetes, and 24 grams of marijuana.

     Plouffe's Boisbriand home was  also searched, and  police discovered  a firearm, brass knuckles, an altered pen with  a sharp blade for a tip, a small quantity of  hashish, and  a 1988 Lincoln with a modified serial number. He was charged with being in possession of illegal weapons.

     Less  than  two  weeks  later, on  September 30, Plouffe, along wit h bikers  Benoit Charron, Claude Archambault, Robert Dubois, Martin Roussy, and  then-Hells  Angels  national  president  Robert "Tiny" Richard, allegedly threatened  and  intimidated TVA  reporter Gaétan Girouard. The  incident  took place during the funeral of Hells Angel Louis "Ti-Oui" Lapierre in Sorel.

     Plouffe and eight Death Riders sympathizers - Gérard Brunet, Gilbert Rosenberg, Conrad Saint-Jean, Daniel  Naud, Gilles  Lord, Jean  Laporte, Martin  Lacroix, and  Jean-Pierre Guitton - were  arrested  on October 26th  and 27th  and  charged  with  an  assortment of  crimes. 366 sticks of dynamite  and 100 detonators  was seized in the raids. Plouffe was picked up with Laporte  at the Death Riders' clubhouse. Plouffe was wanted for allegedly threatening Surete du Quebec police officers.

     Plouffe became a full-patch member of the Hells Angels in the late 1990s. Soon after that, he, along with fellow Hells Angel Benoit Frenette, reportedly became the Godfathers of Plouffe's former club, the Death Riders (now known as the Rockers North).

     He was among the over 100 Hells Angels members and  associates charged in Opération: Printemps 2001 on  March 28, 2001. Plouffe was charged  with  drug  trafficking  and  gangsterism but went into hiding before he could be arrested.
