Joining Outlaws Motorcycle Club earned deputy his job

Outlaws Motorcycle Club’s regional president Mark Lester, center, and Knoxville chapter president Kenneth Foster listen as Foster’s attorney, Mike Whalen, left, questions an undercover officer Thursday in court.

Socializing with Outlaws cost a Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputy her job. Joining them netted an ex-bouncer one.
“I have information another member of the sheriff’s department was fired for hanging out with the motorcycle club,” defense attorney Mike Whalen said at a preliminary hearing for two Outlaws Motorcycle Club leaders accused of robbing and kidnapping a bouncer turned undercover deputy. “What I want to know is: Did (KCSO Deputy Joseph Linger) join the motorcycle club so he could get hired?”
It took two rounds of aggressive cross-examination to get that answer.
