KEY WEST, Fla. – Deputies arrested a number of motorcycle gang members on Saturday at a cafe in the Florida Keys, in step with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
Three of the 4 arrested had been members of the Pagans, an outlaw motorcycle membership with chapters all over the rustic, in step with Rebecca Herrin, a spokeswoman for MCSO.
Derek Queen, David Mirth, and Anthony Eliopulos walked into the Boardwalk Bar & Grill in Big Pine Key and noticed Jeffrey Jones on the bar dressed in a T-shirt with the signal of a rival gang, in step with deputies.
“He told them he is not an Outlaw motorcycle gang member but was just wearing an Outlaw T-shirt,” Herrin wrote in a observation about Jones.
Surveillance video displays Queen, 41, Eliopulos, 55, and Mirth, 60, keeping Jones, 49, out of doors of the eating place towards his will, starting off his T-shirt and pinning him between two vehicles, in step with deputies.
Deputies arrested Queen, of Key West; Eliopulos, of Ramrod Key; and Mirth, of Big Pine Key. When he refused to cooperate with deputies, they detained Jones, of Key West, too.
At first, the eating place’s control refused to unencumber the surveillance video, however detectives returned with a federal subpoena that the Drug Enforcement Administration helped them get, in step with Harris.
In a observation, launched through Harris, Sheriff Rick Ramsay stated deputies is not going to “tolerate” the gangs.
“We will continue to make the investigation of gang-related crimes a priority and will not allow the members of such groups to interfere with the day-to-day lives of the peaceful and law-abiding citizens whom we serve,” Ramsay stated.
Queen, Eliopulos, and Mirth are going through fees of kidnapping or false imprisonment and battery.
