An alleged associate of the Hells Angels arrested earlier this month will spend another two weeks behind bars before he has a bail hearing.
Bradley Summers, 37, has agreed to stay in custody until arrangements are made for him to apply for bail.
Summers is charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possessing a dangerous weapon, and careless use of a weapon, with the weapon in question alleged to be a handgun, according to court documents. He's also charged with breaking and entering a home on White Place in Mount Pearl earlier this month, with the intention to commit an offence.

Police had responded to a report of trouble involving weapons in the neighbourhood, but no weapons were recovered and no charges were laid. Summers was reportedly arrested at a St. John’s business two days later in connection with that investigation.
Summers is well known to police. Five years ago he was arrested in connection with a joint RNC/RCMP investigation into outlaw motorcycle gangs. He, along with Al Potter, was charged with assault and uttering threats.
Potter and Summers were reportedly living in a Hamilton Avenue home that had been firebombed a month earlier.
This past May, 26-year-old Dustin Etheridge and 34-year-old John Squires were arrested and charged with conspiring to murder Summers, along with weapons charges related to a loaded handgun. They are still in custody as their case makes its way through the courts.
