White supremacist gang member pleads guilty to Santa Rosa attack

The vice president of Santa Rosa's Barbarian Brotherhood gang pleaded guilty Monday to ramming the car of a former associate, Sonoma County District Attorney's Officials said.

Michael Earl Warren Jr., 38, of Santa Rosa had already been sentenced to six years in federal prison last week for a firearms charge in a case stemming from a Santa Rosa police investigation.

And on Monday Warren pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery, possession of marijuana for sale and admitted to a gang enhancement in a settlement with prosecutors that means he will serve his time for the local charges in federal prison, Deputy District Attorney Jason Riehl said.

The Santa Rosa investigation began April 2012 when two former associates of the Barbarian Brotherhood told police that Warren rammed their car on Stony Point Road in an apparent attempt to run them off the road, police said.

Warren was arrested May 15, 2012, when investigators stopped an associate leaving Warren's house with several pounds of marijuana, a one-pound brick of hashish and a pistol, which apparently had been kept there, according to court documents.
