Memorial service for Outlaws member shot in Maine




About 250 bikers attended a heavily guarded memorial service in Maine for an Outlaws motorcycle club member who was killed in a shootout with federal agents.

The group left after the Saturday afternoon gathering at the Outlaws clubhouse in Dayton for Thomas Mayne. Sheriff's deputies were outside the clubhouse and would not permit media on the property. An American flag flew at half-staff outside the clubhouse.


Quote from the article:

After they left the tribute, about 100 participants went on a ride. Some attended a funeral in Mayne's hometown of Old Orchard Beach later Saturday, which was for family members.

"It's been a smooth operation," York County Sheriff Maurice Ouellete said. "I anticipate it to remain that way."

Mayne was killed June 15 after agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tried to arrest him at his home.

Mayne, 58, was one of 27 Outlaws members from many states named in a federal indictment out of Virginia charging them with a range of crimes from attempted murder and racketeering to drug and firearms violations.

The indictment alleged that Mayne was one of two Outlaws who shot a Hell's Angel motorcycle club member last October outside a Hell's Angels clubhouse in central Maine. The victim was shot multiple times but survived.

The shooting was payback for an altercation in September when Hell's Angels members assaulted and took Outlaws club patches from two Outlaws members at a gas station in New Haven, Conn., according to the indictment.

Mayne was the Outlaws' regional treasurer and at one time served as the regional "enforcer," the indictment said.
