Mitchell Crump sentenced to home detention for associating with other Rebels bikies at Bradley Daniele’s funeral

Three Rebels bikies consorting for one minute after the funeral of notorious fellow member Bradley Daniele landed one a harsh punishment.

Bikies in Australia- A short history

A Rebels bikie mourning the loss of a prominent fellow member was warned by a magistrate he might not get another chance if he doesn’t change his ways.

One minute was all it took for Mitchell Dylan Crump, 27, and two of his fellow members to be stung by police with a consorting charge.

The Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday heard Rebels OMCG members were warned not to associate with each other at Bradley Daniele’s funeral on September 9.

Police saw Crump wearing an OMCG vest while standing with two other Rebels members at the Findon hotel bottle shop, which was across the road from the funeral service.

Daniele was aged only 29 when it is understood he suffered a heart attack in August and died at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

Daniele, known for his prominent Rebels tattoo which stretched across his face, had been in the media several times for relatively petty crimes.

However, he jumped to prominence when he bashed convicted sex offender Hamzeh Bahrami on April 20, 2019 at the City Watchhouse.

For the assault Daniele had a further two months added to a 13 month, five week sentence for dangerous driving.

He was remembered as a “man of honour” with a “heart of gold” by family and friends at his funeral.

Crump, of Colonel Light Gardens, pleaded guilty to being present with two or more criminal organisation participants and wearing a prohibited item at a licenced premises.

Laura Parham, for Crump, told the court last month he was walking across the road to purchase some alcohol after the funeral when his two co-accused approached him.

“The three of them are together for one minute and seven seconds before dispersing,” she said.

The court heard Crump’s partner was pregnant with their first child and he was working as a full-time plumber.

During sentencing, Magistrate Melanie Burton said the offending was at the lower end of the scale and the contact was “fleeting” and “not planned”.

Ms Burton sentenced Crump to one month and six days jail and also fined him $300.

She ordered the sentence be served on home detention.

“Mr Crump, this is an opportunity to change things,” Ms Burton said.

“You’ve got a good reason to do so … you won’t get a chance like this again necessarily.”

Convictions were recorded.
