Montgomery County, TN - State, federal and county law enforcement officers raided two known hideouts of the Outlaw biker gang this morning in rural Montgomery County.
At least two people were taken into custody in the raid, which was conducted early this morning in a very rural area near Southside.

Eldon Ray Noble, 34, who gave a Cumberland City address, was taken into custody for oustanding warrants for worthless checks. Robin Laws, 42, was arrested on a sealed indictment for especially aggravated kidnapping.

Authorities did not say immediately what was found in the building, which appeared to be a bar and "clubhouse" for members of the notoriously dangerous gang.

Agents from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, 19th Judicial District Drug Task Force, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Drug Enforcement Agency participated in the search warrant.

Authorities at the scene said there were outstanding warrants for narcotics, firearms and especially aggravated kidnapping.

Last month, more than two dozen members of the American Outlaw Association, the official name of the biker club, were taken into custody across the nation in a massive operation against the club.

One member was killed in a shootout with police in Maine during the execution of a search warrant
