STURGIS, S.D. (AP) -- Sturgis Police Chief Jim Bush is not holding out the welcome mat to the Iron Pigs Motorcycle Club.
Several members of the national club, which is open to police and firefighters, have been charged in connection with a bar shooting during last month's annual motorcycle rally.
A member of the Hells Angels was wounded in the fracas and also faces a criminal charge.
Bush says he hopes the Iron Pigs don't return to Sturgis next year because he's sure that the Hells Angels will be there, and that could cause another clash.
