Public Enemy Number One Hoodlum Joseph Govey Seeks His 17th Strike

| Achtung Baby |
Of course, there's the April 30, 1945, death of Adolf Hitler and the collapse of his Nazi Germany empire--and now a Monday last August.
This month, the Orange County Grand Jury listened to gang prosecutors and indicted Govey--a member of the notorious Public Enemy Number One Death Squad (PEN1)--for committing seven felonies beginning on Aug. 16, 2011.
If convicted of the accused crimes--possession of a firearm by a felon, recklessly evading police, street terrorism, possession of a forged document, solicitation to murder, participation in a criminal street gang and attempted murder--the 47-year-old hoodlum won't ever again be able to enjoy the audio version of Mein Kampf while relaxing in freedom.
That's because Govey's prior rap sheet consists of convictions and jail/prison trips in--take a deep breath--1983 (twice), 1985, 1990, 1992, 2002, 2007, 2009 and 2011.
According to the current indictment, Govey worked with his PEN1 pals to plot the murder of Marcel Irizarry of Huntington Beach in late 2011.
On June 18, Govey pleaded not guilty to all the charges pending against him.
He remains in custody at Orange County's Theo Lacy Jail and is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on June 29.
PEN1 is an Orange County-created gang within the murderous Aryan Brotherhood conglomeration.
