Antelope Valley Press, 12-5-1972. Five were injured and 11 arrested when the Vagos biker gang decided to retaliate against Acton gas station owner Tommy Driscoll, who didn't like bikers and had refused to sell them gas earlier in the day on Dec. 2, 1972. They caught up with him that night at Darcy's '49er saloon on Crown Valley Road. No one was killed, but business pretty much died after that at the restaurant-bar, which was owned at the time by Curtis and Jo Anne Darcy, who would become mayor of Santa Clarita about two decades later.
