A Live Oak Hells Angel Member was arrested after a search warrant was issued last week. William “Billy” Bettencourt was taken into custody after officers served the warrant at his home Friday and found him armed with a semi-automatic handgun. Officials say Bettencourt has a prior felony conviction, which prohibits him from possessing a firearm. Bettencourt was booked into Santa Cruz County Jail on suspicion of felony battery, possession of a firearm, possession of steroids for sale and participation in a criminal street gang.
