Motorcycle club member sentenced

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The United States Attorney announced Tuesday that Stephen Davis, Jr., has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after a guilty plea to conspiring to distribute methamphetamine.

Davis, 59 of Indianapolis, was a member of the Vigilantes Motorcycle Club in Indianapolis and acted as a meth distributor.

Davis admitted to receiving large amounts of meth from a member of the Sons of Silence Motorcycle Club. Investigation revealed a primary customer of Davis was Michael Pitts, a member of the Diablos Motorcycle Club in Terre Haute.

Davis later admitted to distributing one pound of meth per week from March 2011 until August 2011.

In addition to his 10 years in prison, Davis was also sentenced to five years of supervised release following his prison term. During this release, he will be subject to random searches by a probation officer. He will also be restricted from associating with members of motorcycle clubs.

US Attorney Joseph Hogsett said, “This prosecution serves as further notice that it doesn't matter whether you drive a sports car or ride a motorcycle, who your friends are or how powerful you may think your gang is, Federal law enforcement will not tolerate organized criminal activity on Hoosier streets."
