Pierre Aragon:

 Pierre Aragon, a former member of the outlaw motorcycle gang the Bandidos and the Loners, was denied bail in October 2022 while awaiting a new sentencing hearing for violent crimes committed on impulse.

He was convicted in 2014 of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon, and uttering death threats, stemming from a 2012 beating of a Loners member in Peterborough, Ontario.
Aragon’s criminal record includes eight offences of violence and two firearm-related offences between 1997 and 2012, with most crimes committed while on probation or under community supervision.
Justice Jocelyn Speyer ruled that his history of violent reoffending, including a pattern of breaching court orders and probation, posed a significant risk to the community, and that proposed release conditions—including supervision at a residential treatment facility, sureties, and electronic monitoring—were insufficient to mitigate that risk.
Her decision cited his wife’s involvement in contraband cell phone use and his father’s lack of realistic understanding of the proceedings as further reasons for denying bail.
Aragon’s sentencing hearing was scheduled for May 2023, where the Crown sought to designate him a dangerous offender. Pierre "Carlito" Aragon was involved in multiple violent crimes tied to gang conflicts, including the 2012 baseball bat assault on Loners member Fernando Fernandes in Peterborough. Aragon was convicted in 2014 of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon, and uttering death threats. Initially declared a dangerous offender in 2017 and given an indeterminate sentence, that ruling was overturned by the Ontario Court of Appeal in 2022 due to insufficient reasoning by the sentencing judge.

Aragon also has a prior criminal record, including a 2008 conviction for aggravated assault related to the 2005 gang-related killing of Shawn Douse, a drug dealer beaten to death in Keswick. He pleaded guilty and received a seven-year sentence for that offence. In 2023, after a new sentencing hearing, Aragon was given a seven-year sentence (with credit for time served) and released with a 10-year long-term supervision order by Correctional Service Canada. The decision followed a psychiatric assessment indicating his risk of reoffending had decreased due to age, rehabilitation efforts, and participation in correctional programs.

Despite the reduction in risk, the court acknowledged Aragon still poses a high risk of violent reoffense without strict supervision and controls
