Outlaws: Feds blasted our building

Outlaws: Feds blasted our building: "two local members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club were facing organized crime charges.
Federal agents stormed the Hickory Outlaws clubhouse on Newton's North Main Avenue at about 6 a.m. They blasted through a brick and cinderblock wall, creating an explosion that club members said shattered windows in a house across the street.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was responsible for the raid, said Special Agent Mike Campbell.
Neighbors said they heard a boom so strong it shook houses. A charred hole with square edges is on the building's south wall.
The U.S. Marshals' Special Operations Group forced their way into the building, Campbell said.
Longtime Hickory Outlaws say no one was in the building when a shape charge was used to blast through their wall.
During the raid, agents seized a number of signs, photographs and other memorabilia.
The Hickory Outlaws say they cooperate with local law enforcement, and that the SWAT-style tactics used by federal agents were unnecessary."
