An Ontario man facing drug and gun charges doesn’t appear to be shy about his apparent ties to a resurgent biker club in Oshawa.

Last week, Trent Lakes resident Joshua Fawcett was arrested and charged by Ontario Provincial Police following an investigation that led to the seizure of 53 long rifles, 278 grams of cocaine and a quantity of Canadian cash.

The OPP said the accused was suspected of having firearms despite being prohibited from possessing them.

Provincial police said 53 long rifles were among items seized after a search warrant was served at a location in Trent Lakes, Ont., on April 8, 2026.

Police said a warrant was used to search a building on Bessie Ave. in Trent Lakes on April 8. According to a website and Facebook account, a Joshua Fawcett is listed as the owner of Fawcett Excavating located on Bessie Ave.

An apparent birth date listed on the Facebook profile also appears to match the age of the accused.

The OPP said Fawcett, 39, faces three counts of possession of a firearm or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order, careless storage of firearms, weapon, prohibited device or ammunition, cocaine possession for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime over $5,000.

An attempt to contact the Joshua Fawcett who owns the Facebook account to confirm he is the same person charged by the OPP went unanswered Thursday.

Despite his recent legal woes, it appears Fawcett may be associated with the resurrected Satan’s Choice motorcycle club and its new leader Harley Guindon.

Shared photo wearing club’s patch

In a photo shared to a Facebook account with the same name as the accused, a man is pictured wearing a shirt bearing the Satan’s Choice patch while posing with Guindon during a trip to Bali, Indonesia, in January.

The account also tagged Guindon in the photo.

On that same trip, the man on the Facebook page was also photographed cooling off in a pool with Guindon.

A Joshua Fawcett can also be found regularly commenting on Guindon’s social media.

“I’m proud to say Harley Guindon is one of my brothers,” Fawcett said in an April 7 Facebook post.

“I believe in him. I believe in this. It’s real! There’s no one I’d rather have standing beside me, in front of me or behind me. And I know he will do any of those things because he’s got my back just like I’ve got his.”

The supportive gesture was in response to a 12-minute video Guidon posted thanking his followers for the biker club’s membership growth since his acrimonious split with Hells Angels.

Satan’s Choice relaunched last summer

Last summer, Guidon announced he was relaunching Satan’s Choice, which was founded by his father Bernie Guidon in 1965 in Oshawa. It had merged with Hells Angels in 2000 before the younger Guidon revived the club 25 years later.

“The Choice is back,” Guidon said on Facebook in August 2025. “I am refounding the Satan’s Choice, with the permission of my father, who I have made an honorary member.”

Guidon, who also runs a clothing business in Oshawa called Harley G’s, has indicated that he has personal issues will two members of Hells Angels. But he has said he is not at war with the Hells Angels.

However, his store has not been immune to violence in recent months.

In early February, shots were fired at the shop which shattered the store’s windows. A social media post showed plywood put up to cover the damage before repairs could be made.

A week later, Durham Regional Police said officers responded to a report of an armed person outside the store.

Cops soon learned that two male individuals arrived at the location in a black vehicle and approached the storefront. Police allege one male used a hammer to break the glass front door while the second male tried to ignite an incendiary device.

Two suspects, both of whom were 16 years old, were arrested a short time later and charged with dozens of offences.
