The term peckerwood has been adopted as the name of a street gang. The Peckerwood gangs are concentrated in California, where some trade in methamphetamine.[1] In the East Bay Area of California (Contra Costa County, Martinez, Richmond, Pittsburg, Antioch) the peckerwood gang members are identified by the CO. CO. County (contra costa county tattoo, usually in but not limited to the abdominal/stomach region). The tattoo and Co. Co. County "WhiteBoy" gang trails to the prison California gang F.A.I.M. (Family Affiliated Irish Mob) affiliates of the Aryan Brotherhood.[citation needed]
Under Peckerwood law, members are required to physically harm any other white person who has had a history of child molestation. On May 4, 2013, Charles Gaskin, who was a member of the gang according to his probation report, was sentenced for 26 years to life for the murder of registered sex offender Neil Lee Hayes.[4]
On March 27, 2013, Tobias Dustin Summers, an alleged member of a Peckerwood street gang, kidnapped a 10 year old girl from her home in Northridge, Los Angeles and repeatedly sexually assaulted her. His accomplice, Daniel Martinez was caught on April 1, 2013, while Summers fled to Mexico. Summers was caught in a rehab clinic in Mexico on April 24, 2013. Summers has been charged with 37 felony counts—one of kidnapping a child, one of burglary, one of kidnapping to commit another crime, and 34 counts related to sexual assault against the kidnapping victim.[5][6]
