FBI, DEA, ATF and US Marshals Raid an Outlaw Motorcycle Clubhouse

Members of the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, ATF and Fort Wayne Police Department were also at the club during the seizure, which occurred sometime before 8:30 a.m. as agents came in through a back door. Neighbors said they hadn’t seen any Outlaws members there for two weeks and no one was seen being brought out of the building.






The U.S. Marshals released this statement at 1:05 p.m. Wednesday:

U.S. Marshals seized the former Outlaw motorcycle gang clubhouse located at 1202 W. Main Street today. The seizure was a result of a criminal case originating in the Southern District of Indiana.

The U.S. Marshals were assisted in the seizure by the Fort Wayne Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The seizure took place without incident. The final order of forfeiture for the Fort Wayne property was ordered by the federal court on June 16.

The U.S. Marshals Service plays a critical role in identifying and evaluating assets that represent the proceeds of crime as well as efficiently managing and selling assets seized and forfeited by the Department of Justice.

The Marshals Service said the raid and seizure came out of a criminal case being worked in the Southern District of Indiana. A final order of forfeiture for the property was ordered by the federal court on June 16.

Federal agents have been at the blackened club previously. In 2012, FBI agents raided the club as part of greater, simultaneous raids across central Indiana of like clubs involving some 300 agents. Out of that, 17 warrants issued by the U.S. Attorney’s office for federal law violations were served to 40 suspected club members simultaneously across central Indiana and Fort Wayne.
