State releases video clip of Outlaw’s fatal shooting
Maine’s attorney general released a video clip Wednesday of federal agents’ attempt to arrest an Outlaws’ motorcycle gang member last summer at a small house on Sandy Circle.
The agents shot and killed Thomas Mayne on June 15 during a nationwide roundup of 27 members of the Outlaws, four of them in Maine.
Attorney General Janet Mills announced Tuesday that the agents were justified in using deadly force in self-defense against Mayne, 58, a former enforcer with the Outlaws motorcycle gang.
The video is silent for the first 11 seconds, when police can be seen walking slowly toward the brown house, past a car and a pickup truck parked in the driveway.
The sound starts just after several puffs of smoke burst from windows, indicating shots fired from inside the house.
The remainder of the one-minute, 31-second video includes the sound of rapid gunfire and an agent shouting for people to come out of the house with their hands raised.


AUGUSTA, Maine -- Newly released video shows a shootout in Maine last summer that ended with federal agents killing a member of the Outlaws motorcycle club.
Video released Wednesday by the Maine attorney general's office shows white smoke rising from the Old Orchard Beach home after agents arrived to arrest 58-year-old Thomas Mayne on June 15. Agents can be seen moving around outside the house and crouching behind cars.
Mayne was killed in the shootout with agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. He was one of 27 Outlaws members charged with crimes ranging from attempted murder to racketeering.
On Tuesday, the attorney general's office ruled that the shooting was justified.
Agents fired twenty rounds, hitting Mayne in the neck and head. The investigation found that Mayne fired six shots at the agents.
