PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A second member of the Hells Angels motorcycle club has been charged in connection with an altercation at a Rhode Island strip club, police said.

Nicholas Lourenco, 29, turned himself in Tuesday on charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct, Providence police Maj. David Lapatin told The Providence Journal.

Lourenco was arrested based on a review of surveillance video from the Cadillac Lounge, police said.



Lourenco, unprovoked, punched a man who worked at the club on Feb. 29, causing a facial injury, Lapatin said.

Lourenco’s case was not listed in online court records and it’s not clear if he has an attorney.

Joseph Lancia, a man described by authorities as the president of the Rhode Island chapter of the Hells Angels, also faces charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct stemming from the altercation.

His attorney pointed out that the worker did not want to press charges.
