2-28-18 dodge county sheriff says outlaws gang will be watched closely

The Dodge County Sheriff says the Outlaws motorcycle gang will have no problems with law enforcement in Lomira as long as they  behave.   The Sheriff’s Office and Lomira police have conducted a criminal interdiction effort the last two Friday nights after learning the motorcycle gang opened a clubhouse in Lomira.    Sheriff Dale Schmidt says the concern is that the Outlaws have been involved in criminal activity including illegal drug trafficking, prostitution and violence in other locations where they have established a presence.  “While we don’t know these individuals that are at this location in Lomira are doing these things right now we know there is a significant history with the Outlaws in doing this,”  Schmidt told WFDL news.  Schmidt says the gang’s track record involves establishing a positive presence in a community before the illegal activity begins.  Schmidt says he is also concerned that the group has a history of violence.
