Gang members testify against former 'brothers'

Two Outlaws members indicted with two dozen other bikers in June on racketeering and other charges testified against their former gang "brothers" in federal court yesterday.

David Lowry and Brian McDermott, both 50, of the Charlotte, N.C., and Hickory, N.C., Outlaws chapters, respectively, broke the gang's often-repeated warnings against snitching and testified at length, admitting that they hoped to win lesser prison sentences after earlier pleading guilty.

On trial in U.S. District Court in Richmond are Jack "Milwaukee Jack" Rosga, 53, the Outlaws' national president; William "Rebel" Davey, 46; Mark "Lytnin'" Spradling, 52; and Leslie Werth, 47. In addition to the racketeering and conspiracy charges, Davey and Werth are charged with using violence in the aid of racketeering and firearms offenses.

Before McDermott was an Outlaw, he was a member of the Black Pistons, a motorcycle club that supported the Outlaws. Later, as a prospect of the Outlaws, McDermott recalled that he learned to do as he was told. "You were told not to think," he said.
