The former head of the local Hells Angels chapter faces a first-degree murder charge after Pima County Sheriff's deputies found a body buried on his property south of Three Points.
William Gary Potter, 54, was booked Tuesday into the Pima County jail on suspicion of first-degree murder in connection with the death of Randall Scott Pfeil, 50, said Deputy Jason Ogan, a Sheriff's Department spokesmen.
Potter's wife, 51-year-old Karen Ann Potter, was also arrested and booked on suspicion of hindering prosecution, Ogan said.
Pfeil's body was found overnight in a shallow grave at a home in the 17300 block of South Sierrita Mountain Road, where deputies had gone to Monday afternoon as part of a missing persons investigation, Ogan said.
Pfeil was reported missing on Friday, Ogan said.
Deputies found an area of disturbed ground on the property, which according to Pima County Assessor's Office online records is owned by the Potters.
When deputies dug up the grave they found Pfeil, whose body had "obvious signs of trauma," Ogan said. An autopsy will determine cause of death, he said.
William Potter, also known as "Tramp," is a former head of the Tucson chapter of the Hells Angels, an international motorcycle club that has frequently been tied to criminal activity.
Potter was arrested in 1999 after federal agents raided a downtown business where he worked and found a cache of weapons, according to Arizona Daily Star archives. Potter was charged with felon in possession of weapons, and after pleading guilty in 2002 was sentenced to time served, federal court records show

Az NOGALES ( 3 BUSTS One Million in Methamphetamine ) CBP
NOGALES (Tucson News Now) - Three big methamphetamine busts at the border have landed three people in jail, and more than $1 million in drugs in the custody of Customs and Border Protection agents.
All three busts happened Wednesday.
The first seizure occurred after officers referred a 50-year-old Sierra Vista woman for additional questioning and a vehicle search when she attempted to enter the United States. A drug-sniffing dog detected drugs in the vehicle's fuel tank, and officers found 12 packages of crystal meth weighing nearly 19 pounds.
A couple of hours later, a 31-year-old Nogales, Sonora, Mexico man was selected for additional inspection of his Ford truck when he attempted to enter the U.S. Once again, a drug dog sniffed trouble, and officers found 20 packages of meth weighing almost 29 pounds.
A third seizure occurred last night after a 20-year-old Mexican national man living in Tucson was referred for additional inspection of his Chevrolet truck and a K9 alerted to drugs in the truck's tank. Officers found 20 packages of methamphetamine weighing more than 26 pounds.
OKLAHOMA ( 12 yr old Girl Home Alone shoots intruder )
Kendra St. Clair, 12, was at home alone in Oklahoma, when loud banging began on the door to her family's home. Soon, the glass shattered and an intruder had entered.
"I was scared and I didn't know what to do next," Kendra told ABC News.
Petrified, she called her mom Debra.
"I said Kendra get the gun and go get in my closet now. And call 911."
The young 6th grader followed her mom's orders to the tee.
The 911 tapes tell the story as it unfolded.
Kendra: "I'm at my house. I'm in my closet. And I ran away from (inaudible) someone's trying to get into my house and I do not know who they are." Dispatcher: "Ok I have a deputy en route, I want you to stay on the phone with me. Ok?" Kendra: "Ok. Please. I think they are in the house."
Kendra: "Please help me. Please." Dispatcher: "Alright, alright. I understand. Do you still have your mom's gun there?" Kendra: "Yes I do. I have it in my hand."
Her fear intensified to sheer terror, when she saw the knob of the closet door beginning to turn.
At that point, that for the first time in her life, Kendra fired a gun.
Police said the bullet traveled straight through the closet door and struck 32-year-old Stacey Jones in the shoulder, scaring him out of the house.
They arrested him a few blocks away and charged Jones with first degree burglary.
"When I had the gun, I didn't think I was actually going to have to shoot somebody," the 6th grader recalled. "I think it's going to change me a whole lot, knowing that I can hold my head up high and nothing can hurt me anymore."
Her mother Debra agrees.
"I think that she did something that most grown-ups wouldn't be able to do in a frightening situation. I think she handled herself amazingly."
Jones was treated at the hospital and released into the custody of authorities. Police said he has not yet entered a plea but that bond has been set for $250,000.

CHINA ( Man SUES wife for being UGLY and WINS ) Won 120,000
Divorces are never pretty, but this one is pretty ugly. A man from northern China divorced and sued his wife for being ugly. He won $120,000 in the lawsuit and has once again made the world question the validity of phrases like “marriage” and “love”.
The northern Chinese man, Jian Feng, married his wife and was reportedly absolutely in love with her. Soon, as will happen, she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl, which was when the problems arose for Feng.
He thought the baby was incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified him. The baby resembled neither of her parents, so Feng demanded to know who the father was, because jumping to conclusions about your wife’s faithfulness is the obvious thing to do when you have an ugly baby.
As it turns out, his wife didn’t cheat, but did gloss over the fact that she had spent $100,000 on intense plastic surgery to severely change how she looked before she met him. It’s the kind of thing that can slip your mind on the first date. After his wife revealed this to him, Feng took the only right-minded course of action and divorced and sued her, claiming that she got him to marry her under false pretences. The false pretence presumably being that she was good looking. Incredibly, the (presumably male) judge sympathized with Feng and he won $120,000 in the case.
It’s usually the victim of court cases that you’re supposed to feel sorry for, but it’s kind of difficult to feel sorry for the man who is angry at his beautiful wife for being ugly at some point in her life. If you’re going to feel sorry for anyone, feel sorry for their child, whom will forever be known as the baby that broke her parent’s marriage – with her face.

NEW York ( POLICE Officer arrested for plotting to kidnap,rape and torture )
NEW YORK (AP) -- A city police officer was charged Thursday
with plotting to kidnap, rape, torture and kill women he had identified and
catalogued on his computer, and then cook and eat their body parts.
Gilberto Valle sent numerous emails and other Internet
communications about the ghoulish torture and cannibalism scheme, according to a
criminal complaint. There was no information that any women harmed.
"I was thinking of tying her body onto some kind of
apparatus ... cook her over low heat, keep her alive as long as possible," Valle
allegedly wrote in one online exchange in July, the complaint says.
The officer was to appear later Thursday in federal court in
Manhattan to face kidnapping charges. The name of his attorney was not
immediately available.
A search of Valle's computer found he created records of at
least 100 women with their names, addresses and photos, the complaint says. Some
of the information came from his unauthorized use of a law enforcement database,
authorities said.
"The allegations in the complaint really need no description
from us," said Mary E. Galligan, acting head of the FBI's New York office. "They
speak for themselves. It would be an understatement merely to say Valle's own
words and actions were shocking."
There was no immediate response to a message left with the
NYPD on Thursday.
Valle met one potential victim over lunch, authorities
said.
The complaint alleges that in February, Valle negotiated to
kidnap another woman for someone else, writing, "$5,000 and she's all
yours."
It says he added: "I will really get off on knocking her
out, tying up her hands and bare feet and gagging her. Then she will be stuffed
into a large piece of luggage and wheeled out to my van."
Cellphone data revealed that Valle made calls on the block
where the woman lives in March, the complaint says. An FBI agent interviewed the
woman, who told them that she didn't know him well and was never in her
home.
Valle, 28, lives in Queens. He had been assigned to a
Manhattan precinct before his suspension on Wednesday.
