(Richmond, Virginia and Old Orchard Beach, Maine) Big news in the world of motorcycle gangs this past week. In Richmond VA, a federal indictment (dtd. 6/10/10) was unsealed charging 27 members of the Outlaws motorcycle gang, aka American Outlaw Association, with multiple racketeering, firearms and drug crimes.
Roundups of criminal suspects were launched throughout the U.S. One casualty has been reported, Outlaw member Thomas "Tomcat" Mayne, 59, who was killed Tuesday during a shootout with federal agents in Old Orchard Beach. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives approached the Mayne household to conduct a search and they were fired upon. Firing back, they killed Mr. Mayne.
Mayne, along with Michael "Madman" Pedini, are suspected in a shooting last October at a Hells Angels clubhouse in Canaan CT. Pedini is currently detained on drug trafficking charges.
