Wayne "Weiner" Kellestine was the president of the Annihilators Motorcycle Club based in St. Thomas, having at first founded a gang called the Holocaust before becoming the Annihilators president. Kellestine had a long criminal record going back to 1967. In 2006, the "Toronto Sun" reported that since he turned 18 in 1967 that: "Kellestine amassed convictions for three counts of assault causing bodily harm, three for assault, three for possessing unregistered weapons and more than a dozen counts for various weapons, property and breach and escape charges." When Kellestine was arrested in April 2006, a policeman told the journalist Timothy Appleby of "The Globe and Mail": "He's a guy who if you were to meet him, the hair on your neck would stand on end. This is one scary individual."
