Bradley County Sheriff Tim Gobble and his department was part of a similar raid conducted on an Outlaws clubhouse in Cleveland, netting one arrest, Danni Decker.
"He was charged on the state charges based on an incident that had occurred the day before, the night before in which he attempted to harass and intimidate other law enforcement officers and there were some state violation charges that were charged there. That was initially charged in order to hold him until the federal charges could be finalized out of Chattanooga."
Federal Charges that will send most in the group away for a long time.
"Those federal charges carry with them significant teeth, and if they are convicted of those federal charges they can carry with them very stiff penalties and they can be off the streets for many many years."
In Cleveland, Gobble says his crew is still on the lookout for more members associated with the Outlaws.
"This is also something that might be interesting to the public because they have seen the limited and the Black Pistons operating in this area and they are considered to be a potential support group and a support group depending on the status of their membership for this Outlaw motorcycle gang."
Most of the suspects will appear in federal court on Monday.
