Nab Pagan Gang Member After Police Chase...

Cape Coral motorcycle gang member arrested following police chase in Florida Keys

Officials say O.M.G.s are highly structured criminal organizations whose members engage in criminal activities such as violent crime, weapons trafficking, and drug trafficking.

A Cape Coral man who is a member of the Pagan motorcycle gang was arrested after fleeing from police.
According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, Theodore Standish is a member of an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang (O.M.G.) known as the Pagans.
Officials say O.M.G.s are highly structured criminal organizations whose members engage in criminal activities such as violent crime, weapons trafficking, and drug trafficking.
The report states Standish was attending a biker party on Big Pine Key on February 10 when police say he was riding on a motorcycle with handlebars 8 inches above his shoulders, which is illegal.
This statute says, "No person shall operate any motorcycle with handlebars or hand grips that are higher than the top of the shoulders of the person operating the motorcycle while properly seated upon the motorcycle."
A deputy from Monroe County attempted to pull over Standish into a nearby parking lot; however, Standish fled.
The deputies attempted to follow him, one on a motorcycle and one in a patrol car. They lost sight of him after he turned onto Quail Roost Trail on Big Pine Key.
Detectives spotted Standish's motorcycle hiding behind a red RAM truck on a deputy's dash camera.
Later, the motorcycle was found in the same location with a bent license plate to avoid being identified.
Upon further investigation, several videos from different Big Pine Key locations were found, clearly showing Standish riding the motorcycle. Detectives then reached out to Cape Coral Police, who confirmed that they had responded to Standish's residence back in November. The video footage from that encounter showed a red Dodge RAM Truck - the same one Standish was hiding behind on Big Pine - backed into the driveway of the Cape Coral house. In the video, Standish spoke with officers and identified himself.
Standish has been arrested in Lee County with an arrest warrant issued against him. It was found he doesn't have a driver's license in Florida and his Connecticut license has been suspended.
As a result, Theodore Standish has been charged with Reckless Driving, Failing to Obey a law enforcement officer, fleeing, and eluding police. He is expected to be held on a bond of $75,000 until he is extradited to Monroe County.
