‘Shoot me or I’ll stab you’

Bikie’s alleged cop threat

AN ex-bikie boss allegedly threatened to stab police with a sword if they did not shoot him during a standoff on the Gold Coast last month.

Brett “Kaos” Pechey has been put in a mental health unit following the incident and his lawyer says he cannot get “any information because he is considered a security risk”.

He has been charged with a number of offences, including assaulting police.

However, defence lawyer Campbell MacCallum, of Moloney MacCallum Abdelshahied Lawyers, said Pechey would defend the allegations as “a number of factual matters are in dispute”.

“He is currently under the care of doctors who are catering for his health and welfare.”

Pechey is a former president of the West End chapter of the Bandidos and came to prominence when he fled to Thailand after the infamous Broadbeach bikie brawl in 2013. He returned in early 2015 after he began to run out of money.

The 31-year-old reemerged in late February when he was linked to an online feud with Ben “Notorious” Geppert, a former Hells Angels and Finks member.

Geppert accused Pechey of being a “dog”, or police informant. The fight has spilled into their private life, causing a rift between their girlfriends, Instagram stars and sisters Rikki Louise Jones and Allaina Vader.

Mr MacCallum said the police shooting death in February of former Comanchero bikie associate Liam Scorsese had also rocked Pechey.

His own alleged altercation with police has eerily similar circumstances to Scorsese’s final moments.

“My client is quite distressed after a number of factors arising in his personal life which forms some of the basis as to how events unfolded,” Mr MacCallum said.

Police will allege Pechey barricaded himself in a Coast home armed with swords.

It will be alleged when police tried to approach him the ex-bikie threatened “that he would stab them if they didn’t shoot him”.

About 26 police officers were at the scene trying to negotiate with Pechey.

He allegedly stabbed a number of walls and kicked out windows.

Police will also allege Pechey threw an ironing board down a flight of stairs and a steel pipe at officers.

When officers tried to negotiate, Pechey told them to “come up, have a go and shoot him”, police will allege.

Police were only able to detain Pechey after he took prescription drugs which left him semiconscious, they claim.
