Welcome to Outlaws and gun Slingers. From the Wild West

and law enforcement trying to bring them down. Join us

and lawman in American history. True crime like you've never

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Banging Dang, Welcome back now Outlaws gun Slingers chose bang
and Bang. We're moving on with our MC series, Milkin
this Outlaws MC for another couple episodes. We're gonna take
a look at Jim Nolan, who is the founder of
(00:59):
the South Florida chapter of the Outlaws motorcycle Club from
like nineteen sixty something to president. He's still he's still going.
And this guy's got in all sorts of trouble, killing people,
got in prison and Rico charges.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, this guy's this.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Guy's been all over the place. We're talking about Jim Nolan,
Big gym, Big Jim James Thomas Nolan. They call him
Big Jim. Born in nineteen forty three, Born in New
Jersey in nineteen forty three and moved sometime in nineteen
fifty five to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He attended South Broward
High School in Hollywood, Florida, completed two years of college,
(01:37):
apparently dropped out because in the early sixties he founded
the Iron Cross motorcycle gang in West Palm Beach and
was president of the gang. When the Old Outlaws dispatched
a representative named Donald Deep Tanner to Florida, he said,
don't you go down there. Spring of nineteen sixty seven
with the assignment, why don't you go down there? Found
a chapter in the state. We need to expand to Florida.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Nolan, he began in associated with Tanner, sisted him and
merging various Florida biker gangs, including the Iron Cross, the Cossacks,
Half Breeds, and the Outcasts, and they all did this
to form the Outlaws as South Florida, with the patch
over ceremony taking place at Kitty Saloon, which is a
roadside bar on State Road A one A and Juno Beach,
(02:20):
and that happened in July nineteen sixty seven. South Florida
chapter initially used Kitty Saloon as a clubhouse and its
members residing in a dozen cabins behind the saloon. Oh
that's nice, which they rented from the saloon's owner, Bertha Rando.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
They called kitty. Obviously, right, look at that.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Don't even have to drive our drink and drive stumbled
to the back.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh they probably did anyway. All right, I'm Nolan.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He's described by The Sun Sentinel as an intelligent and
charismatic leader who sported long, wavy brown hair well below
a solda, well below his shoulders, and a full beard.
He originally served as vice president of the South Florida
Outlaws with Tanner lead in the chapter obviously, I mean
he came down there, he said, I'm running gym. The
Outlaws were quickly imicated in prostitution, narcotics, kartha, stolen credit cards,
(03:05):
grand larceny assaults, and other crime.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Stolen credit cards in.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Sixties, yeah, man, this shit probably the easiest time to
do it. But it was an incident on November fourteenth,
nineteen sixty seven, in which five Outlaws a crucified an
eighteen year old woman, Christine Diese Dam by nailing her
to a tree in Jupiter, Florida, after she failed to
turn over ten dollars demanded by.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The bikers get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It gained the chapter the most of it's notoriety and
resulted in Florida Governor Claude Kirk Junior vowing to drive
the club out of the state. Well, yeah, when they're
crucifying somebody for ten dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
An interview with George Knob of The Sunday News December
nineteen sixty seven, Nolan dismissed allegations against Outlaws as hogwash.
He said, so we have long hair and beards. Well,
so did Jesus Christ. He's been around a lot longer
than Governor Kirk. He's a lot of mouth quote unquote,
(04:01):
sounds like you're a lot of mouth.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
South Florida Outlaws Chapter relocated to Fort Lauderdale after a
campaign with the po Pos harassment forced them out of
Palm Beach County. Chapter was headquartered from a clubhouse located
in an unincorporated neighborhood southwest of Fort Lauderdale, and had
approximately two hundred members and associates at its peak. Damn,
that's pretty good for a little area there.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
When they moved to Old Fort Lauderdale, Nolan he became
president and regional president of the Outlaws in Florida for
over ten years. Biker historians have credited Nolan with convincing
the Outlaws leadership in the Midwest of the importance of
taking control of southern United States and the state of Florida, Specifically,
crime reporter Scott bernstein Stein. He described him as the
(04:46):
Outlaws over our, the Outlaws overall patriarch in the Sunshine State,
and the South Florida chapters revered God File Oh you
Jim Nolan right Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Big Gym was instrumental in the Outlaw's rapid expansion throughout
the state during the seventies, as the club amalgamated various
smaller motorcycle gangs such as the Regents in Jacksonville, the
Iron Cross, and Orlando. Due to the aggressive membership drive
in the early seventies, Florida eventually had the largest concentration
of Outlaws in the whole United States of America.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
During Big Gym's presidency.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Outlaw members were forbidden from retiring the club under threat
of violence.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Only the way you're out of here is die. Right
South Florida Outlaws initially derived the majority of their income
from sex trafficking. Right Easy, South Florida prostituting women known
as old ladies, who were deemed to be property of
Outlaw members. The women were supplied to topless bars along
Florida's Gold Coast to work as dancers.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And prostitute fantastic.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
The bikers maintained control over these women using various methods,
including gathering information on and threatening the lives of their families,
and would occasionally buy and sell their old ladies amongst themselves.
Hey man, what's shere he doing?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
And I You'll give you ten bucks man, Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
On the Big Gym's leadership, the Outlaws shifted their focus
in the seventies from sex rackets due to decline and
prostitution income. They were like, let's stri legal gambling and
let's get some drug trafficking.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
And this was an at a time when the demand
for party drugs was all time high.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
All those weirdos dancing to the disco.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Describing the Biker's motivations behind switching primarily from pimping to
drug dealing, assist in United States attorney Gregory Keyhope, he said, there.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Are problems with old ladies and drugs.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Don't talk back.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It's true, old ladies. You have to beat up and
risk them going somewhere and telling somebody, yeah, drugs just killed.
The Florida faction of the Outlaws gained power and influence
within the club by forging links with the Colombian and
Cuban Drugs Flyers, sourcing cocaine being imported into the state
from Columbia, which they then distributed to chapters in the
Midwest and on the East Coast. In addition to coke,
(06:55):
the Outlaws also said also sold wholesale quantities of well
you guess had met and heroin in Broward County.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
A few, uh yeah, a few between the Outlaws and
the Angels began. Two members of the Aliens biker gang
in New York City, New York City, Sandy Alexander and.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Peter Grease Lighting and Rogers.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
They went separate ways was as Dandler joining the New
York Angels and Rogers leaving to become a member of
the Chicago Outlaws.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Damn when Rogers.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Returned to New York to attend the New Year's Eve
party in Manhattan nineteen seventy three, severely beaten by Alexander
after allegedly raping the Angel's wife. To say face Rogers
told his fellow Outlaws they had been attacked by a
dozen Hells, it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Was only one.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
On the spring of nineteen seventy four, Nolan learned that
three members of the Hell's Angels Lowell, Massachusetts chapter were
traveling to South Florida. Two of the bikers Whiskey George
Hartman and Edwin Riverboat Riley. They were visiting the state
to supervise the covering up of gang tattoos belonging to
Albert Osky Simmons, and he had relocated to Orlando to
operate a motorcycle shop after leaving the Angels a year
(08:05):
or two earlier.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
They said, this.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Dude's been down there, probably giving nororiety for his motorcycle
shop because he was a former Angel. They cover him
up or we'll cut him off right how police believe
Hartman and Riley they were also in Florida to source narcotics.
Nolan called a club meeting to discuss what course of
action the Outlaws should take regarding the presence of the
maggots who had beaten their brother. Peter Rogers. Oh right,
(08:29):
he said, what are they doing in our territory? What
are we going to gott to send a message back.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Damn right they do.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I have to receive an info that Hartman Riley Simmons
will be at the Past Time Bar, which is in
Fort Lauderdale. On the thirtieth April nineteen seventy four, Oh
Big Jim and other members of South Florida Outlaws went
to the bar. They began discussing their differences with the Angels,
before just suggesting that they take the discussion off the street.
(08:54):
Outlaws then lured the three bikers to the clubhouse under
the guise of a drug deal, promising no harm would
come to the Angel's.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeogue idiots retarded you know better than that.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
When the Angels arrived at the clubhouse, however, Nolan he
ordered several fellow club members to take the rival bikers
to a deserted area and quote unquote make sure they
don't come back. Ooh four Outlaws, Henry Funky tim amos
doesn't make sense, William Gatemouth, Willie William Gatemouth, Willie Edson,
Norman Spider Risinger, and Ralph Lucifer yanodo no. They then
(09:29):
forced the Angels into the back of a van at gunpoint,
bound them with pink clothesline and drove them to a
quarry in the Everglades, oh Geez of southwest Broward County
near Andytown, where Risinger killed each of them execution style
with a twelve gate shot gun. Dude, there was nothing left.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
The bodies of the trio were way down with eight
concrete cinder blocks smrged in a flooded, twenty foot deep
rock pit. The murders were discovered on the first May
nineties FOE after one of the corps dislodged and floated
to the surface, where it was seen by Stanley McElroy
or McElroy he was a passing motorists.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Damn could have got away with the two if they
somebody learned how to tie a decent knot.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
The other two were found by the Popo Hartman. Riley,
and Simmons were identified by their fingerprints and tattoos and
not their face right Edson. He was then arrested in
Canada for an unrelated crime in nineteen seventy six, subsequently
turned state's evidence when he was extradited back to the
United States. He then named himself, Amos, Rizinger and Yonoda
(10:33):
as those who committed the murders while on the orders
of Nolan.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh damn so he told on the big guy too ya.
Nineteen seventy seven, the Angels attempted to resolve the feud
between the clubs by sending Sandy Alexander, along with Oakland,
California chapter members Sergey Walton and Gary Popkin, said why
don't you go meet with Nolan and the older outlaw
leaders in Durham, North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
We halfway.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Sandy Alexander is the one that beat the shit up.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
The dude is wow.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Well, Big Jim and his people did not even show
up at all, Along with Amos Edson Risinger and Yanoda,
Nolan was indicted by a grand jury in connection with
the killings of April in April nineteen seventy eight. Their
childs were three counts first degree murder. At that very
time of this indictment, Nolan was being held in a
count of jail while he appealed a five year prison
(11:24):
sentence he had received earlier that year on state drug charges,
and he threatened the life of a Hollywood, Florida policeman
by threatened the sickest dog on which was one hundred
and fifty pound great Dane. I am you see this
big boy right here, He will get you.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Marmaduke will get that ass.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Why are they charging him with murder when the dude
just said that you ordered it. That's not how it goes.
When did Rico start nineteen seventy So yep, that's how
it works.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
But they didn't charge him with Rico though.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
No How, State prosecutor Thomas Kern he characterized Nolan as
the undisputed leader of the Outlaws in South Florida clearly
and asserted that he was responsible for ordering the three murders.
Edson and Yanoda Yanada, along with two other outlaws, John
Igor Loose and Dale Bracket Webb, they testified against Nolan
in exchange for lesser sentences. Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
At the time of.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Their testimony, Edson was serving a twenty year prison sentence
for torturing a woman oh Wow. Loose was serving a
twenty year sentence for beating a woman with a table leg. Webb,
who was a former president of the Orlando Chapter, he
was serving life for kidnapping life for kidnapping, and Yoda
Yanada was serving four concurrent life sentences for murder.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
All right, damn big Gym's defense journey Ray Anstrom, maintaining
that the state's case against his client was not such
a neat package of sudden cooperation by public spirited citizens
as the prosecution would have you believed.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Oh, clearly not. We just read the sentences of those guys, right.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
He noted that each of the four state witnesses who
had implicated Big Jim had been been in fitted by
agree to testify. Nolan's first trial from the murders ended
in a hung jury on the twenty second December nineteen
seventy eight, when the twelve person jury was split ten
to two for a conviction.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
A retrial March.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, even get a hung jury, you shouldn't be allowed
to retrial over with, dude.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Retrial March in night seventy nine also ended in a mistrial.
Nolan ultimately acquitted an a third trial later in ninety
seventy nine, after presenting what the state's witnesses testified was
a fabricated defense.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Okay, well he got away with that.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Clearly the jury will leave the old fabricated defense. Huh.
Well August nineteen seventy four, though, what are we doing here? Okay, well,
that was his ordeal with that murder thing. But He's
not done because even prior to that August nineteen seventy four,
a woman named Joyce Carleen. She was invited on the
(13:58):
offer and of finding a job from Daytona Beach to
stay in a trailer home in Hollywood, Florida, which she
later discovered was the Outlaws clubhouse. On the first day
of her stay at the trailer, Nolan hit Carlen after
she refused to bring my beer. On the second day,
he raped her at gunpoint, informed her that as an
Outlaws old lady she would be expected to work and
give her earnings to the club, and then he allowed
(14:19):
eight other Outlaws a gang.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Raper Damn, oh shit. Well.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
That very next day, Carlen was put to work as
a topless dancer at a local tavern.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Along with the other Outlaw old ladies.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Later that week, twenty second August nineteen seventy four, she
was adducted as she left the lounge after work by
several Outlaws.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Dude, none of these other mongols of the Holl's Angels
did their women this dirty crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
These outlaws believed that Carlin Carleen had stolen clothing bearing
a property patch.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh no, I can't do that, which.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Is an indicator of a woman's status as an old
lady of the club. They said that she took it
from one of their patched women.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
The outlaws tied car I lean to a chair at
the clubhouse, stripped her of her blouse before each took
turns punching and kicking her, and then using a hot
spoon to sear her repeatedly on her arms and breasts.
Oh man, maybe after they've had finished torturing Carleen, the
bikers escorted other Outlaws old ladies into the room while
she remained tied to a chair, and they warned the
(15:19):
other women that they would receive the same treatment if
they misbehaved.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
You see this bitch here, Yes, we'll get it too.
Carlen was then dumped in a remote field. Several outlaws
were later convicted of the beating after she reported the
incident to the police.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Clearly wow.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Shortly after that incident, Naomi a Sinecub, the old lady
of Outlaws member Donald Sears, they call him Gangreen and
one of the women who was with Carlene that night
she was beaten and tortured.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
They ran away.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
They said, we gotta get the hell out of here,
Naomi said.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
My concern that Naomi may implicate the outlaws and Carlen's
beating Big Jim. He contacted some of his fellow outlaws
and told them locate this bitch want he now? After
Sears s tracked her down, Nolan first had Naomi hidden
in Miami before ordering Sears.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
To kill that bitch?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Is that your old lady?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You deal with her?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
That Sears? Another outlaw Richard dirty Dick Brainerd. They took
name up. They took Naomi out to Brainerd's fishing boat
and shot her twice in the head. Damn. Naomi's body
was then allegedly disposed of in one of two ways.
The bikers either slashed her throat and abdomen, weighted her
with a heavy object, dumped her into the ocean, or
they trailed her body behind the boat until it disintegrated.
(16:32):
Wow oh the body nevertheless never found. State chargers were
never filed against anybody.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Damn. That's crazy. Damn. During part of the late seven
either insane?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Would they risks like just dragging her around behind the boat?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Who knows the seventies anything gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Right During part of the late seventies.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Nolan's old lady was Tina Wittenstein, who worked as a
routs to sometimes as a topples dancer.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
July nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Winstein attempted to leave with the senses of Von Foreman,
one of her regular clients. After staying out of South
Florida for a month, Wintstein and Foreman returned to the area.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Wow Damn.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Nolan then sees Wittstein and Helder at his home under
armed guard before sending outlaw members to locate Foreman and
bring him in to the home of another club member,
Jeez Well.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
At that home, Foreman was beaten with the butt of
a shotgun and had a lit cigarette stubbed out in
his eye, then had the barrel of a shotgun put
in his mouth and told to beg for his life.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
When O Big Jim arrived at that residence, he told
Foreman he wanted Wittenstein his property returned to him here.
He doesn't know that he has. When Foreman professed his
love for her, no one offered to sell her to
him for one hundred thousand dollars, said he would not
release her until he received the money.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Foreman was then forced to live with the outlaws for
a number of days while he attempted to raise the funds.
He and Wittstein were released at Foreman had paid Nolan
forty thousand. Foreman gave another twenty thousand to Nolan before
he married Wittenstein in a fall in ninety seventy seven.
He and Winstein then fled to California to escape Nolan.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Six thousand dollars. This check better stayed with this dude forever,
kitten some bit damn well. This is not the only
instance of him trying to sell a woman, because eventually
he goes to jail and he's incarcerated at the Florida
State Prison on narcotics charges. In nineteen eighty, Nolan was
introduced to a woman named Iris Gagan Gaygon Sure Iris
(18:35):
Gagon by another outlaw, Ronald Arab Watchmaker, who intended to
gift Gagon to Nolan upon his release from prison. Oh well,
Watchmaker and said Dave Nolan forty nine percent of the
woman while he was still in prison. Nolan then offered
to buy the remaining fifty one percent of Gaygan from
Watchmaker for two thousand bucks, and Watchmaker gave her the
choice of whose old lady she would rather be.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Oh wow, she's wow, thinking that she would be entitled
to better privileges as Nolan's number one old lady, then
she would be as Watchmaker's number two old lady. Gay
Gan chose Nolan. She lived at Nolan's home in Fort Lauderdale,
where she was watched over by Old Laws biker Michael
Moldy Mike Cave, who also resided at the house while
(19:19):
Nolan was in prison. Gaygan visited Nolan in prison every
weekend and often smuggled cocaine and marijuana for personal use
and for sale.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Look at that might as well.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
During his incarceration, Nolan was quoted as saying, I'd rather
be an outlaw on the penitentiary than some jerk on
the street.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
He eventually got paroded September nineteen eighty. He began dividing
his time between Fort Lauderdale and Tucson, Arizona, well, which
is the city he planned to bring under Outlaw's sphere
of influence. He convinced the parole board that he was
working for a country musician and Outlaws member David Allen Cole, Oh,
although he was actually making a living in Arizona from
the prostitution of his old ladies and drug deal makes
(19:58):
sense all Laws member, huh wow, don't make something you
never knew makes sense.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
He was joined in Tucson by way yeah, Outlaw.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Years from seventy six to eighty two. No, no way,
that was before his commercial success too great Googlely movely
Oh yeah, yeah, Outlaw Country years.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
He's never with the bikers, he says, I was in
the Outlaw motcycle Club.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I have my Outlaw colors on, had my pistol in
my pocket, rolled my mice.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I go up and down the stage while Whalen was singing,
got off my bike, went out, started singing with whaling
and then Mollie came out saying, with us Outlaws of Florida.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh that's the Outlaw Country movement. Movement started because supposedly
that wow, all right, look at you, David Allen Cole.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
He was joining Tucson by other Outlaw members who began
supplying prostitutes to top as bars in the city as well.
Nolan took Gigan to Arizona with him, leading her to
believe that she would be treated to a thirty day honeymoon,
during which she would not be required to work as
a prostitute. There was no honeymoon, and she did in
(21:06):
fact required to work as a hot prostitute.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Hey, what do you do?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I gotta make the money, Nolan. He also frequently began
to beat Gagon after they had moved to Tucson, inflicting
a broken rib on her one occasion.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
On one occasion, January.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Nineteen eighty one, she visited her sick mother in Florida.
Although Nolan could not accompany her because of the terms
of a parole oh he let her go, he threatened
to kill her stepfather, who was her mother's sole caretaker,
if she not returned. When she asked Nolan if she
could buy her freedom, he told her it would cost
one hundred twenty five thousand dollars, but that she could
(21:41):
not pay with the prostitution earnings, that the money belonged
to him. So you're already paying me. You come up
with another hundred and twenty five grand, You're gone.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
On a bitch.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Jeese dude, what's up with this guy?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
March nineteen ninety one March eighty March.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
March in nineteen eighty one, Nolan hit Gagon several times
and called one of his older old ladies to take
her home when she stumbled into a parking motorcycle at.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
A biker bar.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Oh after a night of party and you can't do that.
While being driven home, Gigan escaped from the car at
a stoplight hid behind a convenience store. She was seen
by the popo, who approached her and asked what the
hell you doing, although she begged them.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
To leave her alone, leave me alone. While she was
being questioned by the police, Nolan's other old lady alerted
him to the situation and he was able to take
her home after he rode to the scene on his
motorcycle and he convinced the police says she had just
too much to drink. Gagan jumped off the back of
Nolan's motorcycle at another stop light and trying to escape again.
Buddy caught her and punched her repeatedly in the face
(22:42):
until she said, all right, oh wow, I'll get back
on the motorcycle the cops. What are the cops to wing?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Right wow?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
When they returned to their home, Nolan broke Agan's jaw,
threatened to kill that bitch, pissed the whipped her too
until she was unconscious. Nolan allowed Gagan to visit a
hospital after she concocted a false story to explain her injuries.
Gagan spent six days in hospital, where she had a
pin surgically implanted in her jaw and her mouth wired shut.
(23:11):
During a visit to her in hospital, Nolan brought another
old lady. As he stood over the batter Gagon, Nolan
said to the other old lady, you see what I
did to her. I'm in love with her. I don't
even like you, motherfucker. Go ahead, piss me off.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
This fucking guy, dude woo.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
After arriving home from the hospital, Iris, she woke up
one night to find Nolan orally sodomizing his new old lady.
Whoa just look at her bat alone? She was, Oh,
but it was a thirteen year old girl. That's not
cool at all. Guy, What are you doing? Oh no,
this maide at what she had witnessed, She attempted suicide
by overdosing on pills.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
When Nolan discovered her unconscious, he dragged her from room
to room and beat her with a belt for over
three hours.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Oh shit.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
She managed to escaped from Nolan the following day with
the help of a friend and returned to her parents
home in Florida. Kagan's parents then phoned the cops. She
eventually agreed to give police a statement against Big Jim.
It's gone far enough, Holy Faly moly Man.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
After she turned to Florida and April with nineteen eighty one,
Nolan arranged to purchase another woman from his longtime outlaw friend,
Sad Sam Nail. And he's sad, he goes, I need
another bitch here. I'm losing money. I needed to get
another one out on the street. He also began conspiring
with Nail the traffic cocaine from South Florida Arizona, which
(24:30):
they succeeded in doing on at.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Least two occasions.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Good for you guys, with another outlaw, James Blue Starrett,
to transpart a large quanity marijuana to Arizona from Florida
as well on drugs.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
But now that's finally guy, he's gonna do some more.
On July eleventh, nineteen eighty one, Big Jim shot and
killed a man, John McQuillan. I was in the parking
lot of the Bashfulle Bandit, which was a Tucson biker bar,
supposedly because the men were arguing because no one had
been rapidly playing the same song on the jukebox.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Can we all been there?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
He discharged thirteen rounds from a nine millimeter handgun and
hit McCullen eight times, after McQuillan brandished a thirty eight
caliber handgun.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
AM we should have done that? Dumb ass? Is wow well?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Nolan arrested immediately afterwards by a Tucson police officer he
witnessed the shooting from a distance, and charged them with
the murder. After procuring bail on the murder charges, Nolan
was arrested at his home on the twenty fifth of
August nineteen eighty one by the ATF on federal weapons
possessing charges and connection with the shooting of McQuillan.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Oh haven't been convicted of two felonies in Florida State
court in nineteen sixty six seventy six no one obviously
prohibit prohibited from possessing a firearm right. ATF agents discovered
three guns and playing view in the living room of
his own.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Oh shit.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Nolan's federal firearms trial was originally scheduled to begin November second,
nineteen eighty one. It was a lot having in nineteen
eighty one for this guy right, But the court allowed
four continuances, including one at Nolan's request to allow him
to prepare additional evidence, and others to await the completion
of a state murder trial, which was initially scheduled to start
January twenty first, eighty two.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
The trial went ahead March second, nineteen eighty two, after
the court refused to grant additional continuances. Nolan's defense attorney,
Bertram Polis, claimed that pre trial news coverage of the
mcwillan shooting would make it impossible for his client to
receive a fair trial.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
You know, I'm sticking to the whole, the whole media
covers making possible for fair trial. How about don't fucking
kill somebody?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Right?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
And you expect concerns that the trial of Nolan and
his co defendant Larry Savage they call.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Him Stitch may become a mini murder trial.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
The court took several steps to control prejudice at trial,
including moving proceedings from Tucson to Phoenix and excluding any
reversence to Nolan's motorcycle gang connections, as well as evidence is.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Derived from wiretaps. And they did.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
This guy favor. It's cool you moved to Phoenix or whatever.
But you think when the news there gets a hold
of it, like oh famous, or you know this murder
guy's got a trace and now everybody in Phoenix knows
about him. Yeah, stupid hel Iris. She acted as a
government witness and testified at the trial that Nolan had
received several guns in Arizona between October and December of
(27:18):
nineteen eighty. Due to fears for her safety, she was
placed under police protection. Nolan was then committed on all
charges and sentence to ten years. That's it in Fredi prison.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Savage was acquitted of eight in and a betting Nolan's
receipt of a firearm. Okay, that's only on the gun charge.
What about the murder trial?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Doing right well? While waiting trial for the murder, Nolan
became it born again Christian. I'm sure he did.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
He began writing and copyright in Christian song such as
put the Prayer Back in School. After repeated delays, his
state murder trial finally commenced in June of nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
He was acquitted to the murder. Mcquillan's killing. It was
deemed self defense and.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
What world was it self defense? Just because on brandishes
of firearms?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Vote Nolan convicted in Arizona receiving the earnings of a prostitute,
sentenced to five years in prison.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
At least he's doing in jail somethings nineteen thirty. He's
still in jail for the firearms. June third, nineteen eighty
sixth the majority of the Outlaws South Florida Chapter, including
the already imprisoned Big Jim and his vice president Freddy
Yankee Hegney. They were all indicted in a federal racketeering
case OH, which covered a series of crimes in Broward
County between seventy and eighty five. Drug sales, robberies, kidnappings, prostitution, extortion,
(28:30):
and eleven moitas and eleven murders were listed among over
one hundred predicate acts in the indictment.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
OH.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
The acts listened in the indictment included crimes which some
of the defendants had previously been tried for, with guilty
verdicts in some cases and acquittals and others. All right,
but now this is a whole different story because it's
under Rico. Baby.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
The racket racketeering trial of Nolan five other South Florida
Outlaws began in Fort Lauderdale twenty seventh of January nineteen
eighty eight, after five weeks of jury selection. Federal prosecutors
portrayed the Outlaws on in trial as members of a
criminal enterprise bound by a code of silence who profited
from drug dealing, in prostitution, and evaded arrest for fifteen
(29:13):
years by intimidating and killing witnesses.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Nolan was accused of extortion, assault, ordering multiple murders, and
forcing women into prostitution by threatening their families.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Assistant US Attorney General Assistant US Attorney Gregor Keiho, representing
the federal government, described Nolan as a man motivated by power, power,
and money. Defense attorneys maintained that even if the defendants
had committed each crime listed in the indictment, the acts
were not even carried out for the benefit of the
Outlaws organization, and they contended that some prosecution witnesses had
(29:47):
been paid as much as seventy grand by the government
and had charges against them, dismissing an exchange for their testimony.
Who cares, Oh wow, so it works Nolan. He was
represented by the defense attorney Charles G. White of Miami.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Following a fourteen month trial, the longest in the history
of the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Florida, Wow Nolan was convicted on twenty third of
January nineteen eighty nine of violate and conspiracy to violate
the Racketeer A Rico Act. The jury found that the
government had proven thirty four of the thirty eight predicate
(30:20):
acts Childs against So Big Jim.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
These acts included.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Ordering the murders of George Hartman, Edwin Wiley, Albert Simmons,
Naomi Sinacub, the extortion of Jase of Joyce, Carlene Tina Wittenstein,
Von Foreman, and Irish Gagon, and narcotics and prostitution offenses.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
On the day of the jury returned its verdict, Nolan
wore a T shirt in the court bearing the slogan
support your local Outlaws. All five of Nolan's co defendants
were also each convicted of at least one count in
the indictment, had a sentence in here in Miami. Had
a sentencing hearing in Miami October twenty third, nineteen eighty nine.
His attorney he presented five witnesses. They included ministers, members
(31:04):
of Christian motorcycle clubs, and a Catholic high school teacher.
We testified that he was a sincere born again Christian.
Too bad, that doesn't excuse you from past crimes.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Bro the Reverend Daniel Burgoyne, who had a jail house
ministry in Tucson. He testified that he was convinced of
Nolan's sincerity after observing the biker sobbing and crying before God,
and he said he never missed a Bible study. He
never missed a church service.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Oh why would he when he's got nowhere else to do.
It's time to get out of your cell.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Right.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Assistant US Attorney Teresa van Vliet was skeptical of White
assertions that Nolan had changed his life, however, and counter
that as far back as ninety six nine, attorneys for
Nolan had assured judges that he would cease associating without laws.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
If you were given reduced sentences.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Van Vliet stated, he's made promises throughout his whole life
that he's going to be a good boy, be a
productive member of society, but as track record shows, he can't.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yeah on US District Judge WILLIAMS. Latch. He sentenced Nolan
to serve two consecutive terms of twenty five years in
federal prison, and recommended that he not be considered for
pearl until he has served all fifty years. SAM he
was sentenced by his lot to the maximum of twenty
years on each racketeer account, in addition to another ten
years as requested by the government, which they argued that
(32:29):
Nolan was a special dangerous offender.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Wow. I would have hoped so. Wow.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
The influence of the once powerful South Florida Chapter of
the Outlaws wayne severely, partially due to Nolan's incarceration. By
the time of his sentence in nineteen eighty nine, the
chapter's membership had diminished less than a dozen. According to Keijo,
South Florida Outlaws fell off when Jim went to jail
(32:55):
and then he went to Arizona.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
They never had another leader like Jim.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Sergeant Bob Faulkner of the Broward County Sheriff's Office concurred, saying,
I don't think they'll ever have a leader again with
the chrisma of Jim Nolan. Nolan was released from prison
October twenty first, twenty sixteen, after serving twenty six years
of a sentence, but.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
They judge a fucking liar, all right, twenty yeah, it's
seventy uh sixteen and apparently, uh gone on to live
a better life because he's not been in the news
or anything or not back with.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Out Laws apparently, So I'm good that shit.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Maybe he did.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Maybe he did. Huh good Griham, I guess good for
old uh William or William Jim Nolan. Jesus, dude, Holy moly,
wown of a bitch.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
I wonder if.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Next month when we get to old Harry Bowman, who
as the international president.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
For I believe still.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Now so not still, but uh yeah, he was the
international president. I'm wondering if this guy did the same thing.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
All right, shout him a bitch, but uh, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
The first motorcycle group was seen treating the women like that.
I mean, obviously they probably beat him and done all
that shit, and no way they were pimping out right
doing that ship.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Dude, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Uh yeah, that's Outlaws. Jim Nolan, president of the South
Florida chapter of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
He was the motherfucker, he sure was.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
We'll be back next month for Harry Bowman. Like I said,
but next week we are getting into another remastered series
where we continueing where we're continuing, yes, our Prohibition uh stuff.
Don't know what we're gonna do yet. Maybe maybe we
would do uh, the real McCoy guy, or John Ashley,
(34:48):
the King of the Everglades, or maybe we'll even do
Knuckie Nucky, Johnson Nookie, Nicky Thompson, Thomas Thompson or Johnson Nucky. Yeah,
Nucky the guy from Boardwalk Empire. Yeah. So we got
Prohibition coming up and then rounding out the month with
some more serial killers. So we'll be back then. You

and we'll see you next week for some remastered on
Outlaws and Gunslingers. We are the month of Michigan this week.
Dang
Welcome to Outlaws and gun Slingers. From the Wild West
to the rise of organized crime during the Prohibition, all
the way up to today, America has had criminals, gangs,
and law enforcement trying to bring them down. Join us
as we profile some of the most infamous criminals, gangsters, outlaws,
and lawman in American history. True crime like you've never
(00:28):
heard it before. Ladies and gentlemen, here are your hosts.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Banging Dang, Welcome back now Outlaws gun Slingers chose bang
and Bang. We're moving on with our MC series, Milkin
this Outlaws MC for another couple episodes. We're gonna take
a look at Jim Nolan, who is the founder of
(00:59):
the South Florida chapter of the Outlaws motorcycle Club from
like nineteen sixty something to president. He's still he's still going.
And this guy's got in all sorts of trouble, killing people,
got in prison and Rico charges.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, this guy's this.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Guy's been all over the place. We're talking about Jim Nolan,
Big gym, Big Jim James Thomas Nolan. They call him
Big Jim. Born in nineteen forty three, Born in New
Jersey in nineteen forty three and moved sometime in nineteen
fifty five to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He attended South Broward
High School in Hollywood, Florida, completed two years of college,
(01:37):
apparently dropped out because in the early sixties he founded
the Iron Cross motorcycle gang in West Palm Beach and
was president of the gang. When the Old Outlaws dispatched
a representative named Donald Deep Tanner to Florida, he said,
don't you go down there. Spring of nineteen sixty seven
with the assignment, why don't you go down there? Found
a chapter in the state. We need to expand to Florida.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Nolan, he began in associated with Tanner, sisted him and
merging various Florida biker gangs, including the Iron Cross, the Cossacks,
Half Breeds, and the Outcasts, and they all did this
to form the Outlaws as South Florida, with the patch
over ceremony taking place at Kitty Saloon, which is a
roadside bar on State Road A one A and Juno Beach,
(02:20):
and that happened in July nineteen sixty seven. South Florida
chapter initially used Kitty Saloon as a clubhouse and its
members residing in a dozen cabins behind the saloon. Oh
that's nice, which they rented from the saloon's owner, Bertha Rando.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
They called kitty. Obviously, right, look at that.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Don't even have to drive our drink and drive stumbled
to the back.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh they probably did anyway. All right, I'm Nolan.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He's described by The Sun Sentinel as an intelligent and
charismatic leader who sported long, wavy brown hair well below
a solda, well below his shoulders, and a full beard.
He originally served as vice president of the South Florida
Outlaws with Tanner lead in the chapter obviously, I mean
he came down there, he said, I'm running gym. The
Outlaws were quickly imicated in prostitution, narcotics, kartha, stolen credit cards,
(03:05):
grand larceny assaults, and other crime.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Stolen credit cards in.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Sixties, yeah, man, this shit probably the easiest time to
do it. But it was an incident on November fourteenth,
nineteen sixty seven, in which five Outlaws a crucified an
eighteen year old woman, Christine Diese Dam by nailing her
to a tree in Jupiter, Florida, after she failed to
turn over ten dollars demanded by.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The bikers get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It gained the chapter the most of it's notoriety and
resulted in Florida Governor Claude Kirk Junior vowing to drive
the club out of the state. Well, yeah, when they're
crucifying somebody for ten dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
An interview with George Knob of The Sunday News December
nineteen sixty seven, Nolan dismissed allegations against Outlaws as hogwash.
He said, so we have long hair and beards. Well,
so did Jesus Christ. He's been around a lot longer
than Governor Kirk. He's a lot of mouth quote unquote,
(04:01):
sounds like you're a lot of mouth.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
South Florida Outlaws Chapter relocated to Fort Lauderdale after a
campaign with the po Pos harassment forced them out of
Palm Beach County. Chapter was headquartered from a clubhouse located
in an unincorporated neighborhood southwest of Fort Lauderdale, and had
approximately two hundred members and associates at its peak. Damn,
that's pretty good for a little area there.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
When they moved to Old Fort Lauderdale, Nolan he became
president and regional president of the Outlaws in Florida for
over ten years. Biker historians have credited Nolan with convincing
the Outlaws leadership in the Midwest of the importance of
taking control of southern United States and the state of Florida, Specifically,
crime reporter Scott bernstein Stein. He described him as the
(04:46):
Outlaws over our, the Outlaws overall patriarch in the Sunshine State,
and the South Florida chapters revered God File Oh you
Jim Nolan right Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Big Gym was instrumental in the Outlaw's rapid expansion throughout
the state during the seventies, as the club amalgamated various
smaller motorcycle gangs such as the Regents in Jacksonville, the
Iron Cross, and Orlando. Due to the aggressive membership drive
in the early seventies, Florida eventually had the largest concentration
of Outlaws in the whole United States of America.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
During Big Gym's presidency.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Outlaw members were forbidden from retiring the club under threat
of violence.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Only the way you're out of here is die. Right
South Florida Outlaws initially derived the majority of their income
from sex trafficking. Right Easy, South Florida prostituting women known
as old ladies, who were deemed to be property of
Outlaw members. The women were supplied to topless bars along
Florida's Gold Coast to work as dancers.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And prostitute fantastic.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
The bikers maintained control over these women using various methods,
including gathering information on and threatening the lives of their families,
and would occasionally buy and sell their old ladies amongst themselves.
Hey man, what's shere he doing?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
And I You'll give you ten bucks man, Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
On the Big Gym's leadership, the Outlaws shifted their focus
in the seventies from sex rackets due to decline and
prostitution income. They were like, let's stri legal gambling and
let's get some drug trafficking.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
And this was an at a time when the demand
for party drugs was all time high.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
All those weirdos dancing to the disco.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Describing the Biker's motivations behind switching primarily from pimping to
drug dealing, assist in United States attorney Gregory Keyhope, he said, there.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Are problems with old ladies and drugs.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Don't talk back.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It's true, old ladies. You have to beat up and
risk them going somewhere and telling somebody, yeah, drugs just killed.
The Florida faction of the Outlaws gained power and influence
within the club by forging links with the Colombian and
Cuban Drugs Flyers, sourcing cocaine being imported into the state
from Columbia, which they then distributed to chapters in the
Midwest and on the East Coast. In addition to coke,
(06:55):
the Outlaws also said also sold wholesale quantities of well
you guess had met and heroin in Broward County.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
A few, uh yeah, a few between the Outlaws and
the Angels began. Two members of the Aliens biker gang
in New York City, New York City, Sandy Alexander and.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Peter Grease Lighting and Rogers.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
They went separate ways was as Dandler joining the New
York Angels and Rogers leaving to become a member of
the Chicago Outlaws.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Damn when Rogers.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Returned to New York to attend the New Year's Eve
party in Manhattan nineteen seventy three, severely beaten by Alexander
after allegedly raping the Angel's wife. To say face Rogers
told his fellow Outlaws they had been attacked by a
dozen Hells, it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Was only one.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
On the spring of nineteen seventy four, Nolan learned that
three members of the Hell's Angels Lowell, Massachusetts chapter were
traveling to South Florida. Two of the bikers Whiskey George
Hartman and Edwin Riverboat Riley. They were visiting the state
to supervise the covering up of gang tattoos belonging to
Albert Osky Simmons, and he had relocated to Orlando to
operate a motorcycle shop after leaving the Angels a year
(08:05):
or two earlier.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
They said, this.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Dude's been down there, probably giving nororiety for his motorcycle
shop because he was a former Angel. They cover him
up or we'll cut him off right how police believe
Hartman and Riley they were also in Florida to source narcotics.
Nolan called a club meeting to discuss what course of
action the Outlaws should take regarding the presence of the
maggots who had beaten their brother. Peter Rogers. Oh right,
(08:29):
he said, what are they doing in our territory? What
are we going to gott to send a message back.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Damn right they do.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I have to receive an info that Hartman Riley Simmons
will be at the Past Time Bar, which is in
Fort Lauderdale. On the thirtieth April nineteen seventy four, Oh
Big Jim and other members of South Florida Outlaws went
to the bar. They began discussing their differences with the Angels,
before just suggesting that they take the discussion off the street.
(08:54):
Outlaws then lured the three bikers to the clubhouse under
the guise of a drug deal, promising no harm would
come to the Angel's.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeogue idiots retarded you know better than that.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
When the Angels arrived at the clubhouse, however, Nolan he
ordered several fellow club members to take the rival bikers
to a deserted area and quote unquote make sure they
don't come back. Ooh four Outlaws, Henry Funky tim amos
doesn't make sense, William Gatemouth, Willie William Gatemouth, Willie Edson,
Norman Spider Risinger, and Ralph Lucifer yanodo no. They then
(09:29):
forced the Angels into the back of a van at gunpoint,
bound them with pink clothesline and drove them to a
quarry in the Everglades, oh Geez of southwest Broward County
near Andytown, where Risinger killed each of them execution style
with a twelve gate shot gun. Dude, there was nothing left.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
The bodies of the trio were way down with eight
concrete cinder blocks smrged in a flooded, twenty foot deep
rock pit. The murders were discovered on the first May
nineties FOE after one of the corps dislodged and floated
to the surface, where it was seen by Stanley McElroy
or McElroy he was a passing motorists.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Damn could have got away with the two if they
somebody learned how to tie a decent knot.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
The other two were found by the Popo Hartman. Riley,
and Simmons were identified by their fingerprints and tattoos and
not their face right Edson. He was then arrested in
Canada for an unrelated crime in nineteen seventy six, subsequently
turned state's evidence when he was extradited back to the
United States. He then named himself, Amos, Rizinger and Yonoda
(10:33):
as those who committed the murders while on the orders
of Nolan.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh damn so he told on the big guy too ya.
Nineteen seventy seven, the Angels attempted to resolve the feud
between the clubs by sending Sandy Alexander, along with Oakland,
California chapter members Sergey Walton and Gary Popkin, said why
don't you go meet with Nolan and the older outlaw
leaders in Durham, North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
We halfway.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Sandy Alexander is the one that beat the shit up.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
The dude is wow.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Well, Big Jim and his people did not even show
up at all, Along with Amos Edson Risinger and Yanoda,
Nolan was indicted by a grand jury in connection with
the killings of April in April nineteen seventy eight. Their
childs were three counts first degree murder. At that very
time of this indictment, Nolan was being held in a
count of jail while he appealed a five year prison
(11:24):
sentence he had received earlier that year on state drug charges,
and he threatened the life of a Hollywood, Florida policeman
by threatened the sickest dog on which was one hundred
and fifty pound great Dane. I am you see this
big boy right here, He will get you.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Marmaduke will get that ass.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Why are they charging him with murder when the dude
just said that you ordered it. That's not how it goes.
When did Rico start nineteen seventy So yep, that's how
it works.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
But they didn't charge him with Rico though.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
No How, State prosecutor Thomas Kern he characterized Nolan as
the undisputed leader of the Outlaws in South Florida clearly
and asserted that he was responsible for ordering the three murders.
Edson and Yanoda Yanada, along with two other outlaws, John
Igor Loose and Dale Bracket Webb, they testified against Nolan
in exchange for lesser sentences. Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
At the time of.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Their testimony, Edson was serving a twenty year prison sentence
for torturing a woman oh Wow. Loose was serving a
twenty year sentence for beating a woman with a table leg. Webb,
who was a former president of the Orlando Chapter, he
was serving life for kidnapping life for kidnapping, and Yoda
Yanada was serving four concurrent life sentences for murder.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
All right, damn big Gym's defense journey Ray Anstrom, maintaining
that the state's case against his client was not such
a neat package of sudden cooperation by public spirited citizens
as the prosecution would have you believed.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Oh, clearly not. We just read the sentences of those guys, right.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
He noted that each of the four state witnesses who
had implicated Big Jim had been been in fitted by
agree to testify. Nolan's first trial from the murders ended
in a hung jury on the twenty second December nineteen
seventy eight, when the twelve person jury was split ten
to two for a conviction.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
A retrial March.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, even get a hung jury, you shouldn't be allowed
to retrial over with, dude.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Retrial March in night seventy nine also ended in a mistrial.
Nolan ultimately acquitted an a third trial later in ninety
seventy nine, after presenting what the state's witnesses testified was
a fabricated defense.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Okay, well he got away with that.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Clearly the jury will leave the old fabricated defense. Huh.
Well August nineteen seventy four, though, what are we doing here? Okay, well,
that was his ordeal with that murder thing. But He's
not done because even prior to that August nineteen seventy four,
a woman named Joyce Carleen. She was invited on the
(13:58):
offer and of finding a job from Daytona Beach to
stay in a trailer home in Hollywood, Florida, which she
later discovered was the Outlaws clubhouse. On the first day
of her stay at the trailer, Nolan hit Carlen after
she refused to bring my beer. On the second day,
he raped her at gunpoint, informed her that as an
Outlaws old lady she would be expected to work and
give her earnings to the club, and then he allowed
(14:19):
eight other Outlaws a gang.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Raper Damn, oh shit. Well.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
That very next day, Carlen was put to work as
a topless dancer at a local tavern.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Along with the other Outlaw old ladies.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Later that week, twenty second August nineteen seventy four, she
was adducted as she left the lounge after work by
several Outlaws.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Dude, none of these other mongols of the Holl's Angels
did their women this dirty crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
These outlaws believed that Carlin Carleen had stolen clothing bearing
a property patch.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh no, I can't do that, which.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Is an indicator of a woman's status as an old
lady of the club. They said that she took it
from one of their patched women.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
The outlaws tied car I lean to a chair at
the clubhouse, stripped her of her blouse before each took
turns punching and kicking her, and then using a hot
spoon to sear her repeatedly on her arms and breasts.
Oh man, maybe after they've had finished torturing Carleen, the
bikers escorted other Outlaws old ladies into the room while
she remained tied to a chair, and they warned the
(15:19):
other women that they would receive the same treatment if
they misbehaved.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
You see this bitch here, Yes, we'll get it too.
Carlen was then dumped in a remote field. Several outlaws
were later convicted of the beating after she reported the
incident to the police.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Clearly wow.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Shortly after that incident, Naomi a Sinecub, the old lady
of Outlaws member Donald Sears, they call him Gangreen and
one of the women who was with Carlene that night
she was beaten and tortured.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
They ran away.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
They said, we gotta get the hell out of here,
Naomi said.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
My concern that Naomi may implicate the outlaws and Carlen's
beating Big Jim. He contacted some of his fellow outlaws
and told them locate this bitch want he now? After
Sears s tracked her down, Nolan first had Naomi hidden
in Miami before ordering Sears.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
To kill that bitch?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Is that your old lady?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You deal with her?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
That Sears? Another outlaw Richard dirty Dick Brainerd. They took
name up. They took Naomi out to Brainerd's fishing boat
and shot her twice in the head. Damn. Naomi's body
was then allegedly disposed of in one of two ways.
The bikers either slashed her throat and abdomen, weighted her
with a heavy object, dumped her into the ocean, or
they trailed her body behind the boat until it disintegrated.
(16:32):
Wow oh the body nevertheless never found. State chargers were
never filed against anybody.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Damn. That's crazy. Damn. During part of the late seven
either insane?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Would they risks like just dragging her around behind the boat?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Who knows the seventies anything gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Right During part of the late seventies.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Nolan's old lady was Tina Wittenstein, who worked as a
routs to sometimes as a topples dancer.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
July nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Winstein attempted to leave with the senses of Von Foreman,
one of her regular clients. After staying out of South
Florida for a month, Wintstein and Foreman returned to the area.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Wow Damn.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Nolan then sees Wittstein and Helder at his home under
armed guard before sending outlaw members to locate Foreman and
bring him in to the home of another club member,
Jeez Well.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
At that home, Foreman was beaten with the butt of
a shotgun and had a lit cigarette stubbed out in
his eye, then had the barrel of a shotgun put
in his mouth and told to beg for his life.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
When O Big Jim arrived at that residence, he told
Foreman he wanted Wittenstein his property returned to him here.
He doesn't know that he has. When Foreman professed his
love for her, no one offered to sell her to
him for one hundred thousand dollars, said he would not
release her until he received the money.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Foreman was then forced to live with the outlaws for
a number of days while he attempted to raise the funds.
He and Wittstein were released at Foreman had paid Nolan
forty thousand. Foreman gave another twenty thousand to Nolan before
he married Wittenstein in a fall in ninety seventy seven.
He and Winstein then fled to California to escape Nolan.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Six thousand dollars. This check better stayed with this dude forever,
kitten some bit damn well. This is not the only
instance of him trying to sell a woman, because eventually
he goes to jail and he's incarcerated at the Florida
State Prison on narcotics charges. In nineteen eighty, Nolan was
introduced to a woman named Iris Gagan Gaygon Sure Iris
(18:35):
Gagon by another outlaw, Ronald Arab Watchmaker, who intended to
gift Gagon to Nolan upon his release from prison. Oh well,
Watchmaker and said Dave Nolan forty nine percent of the
woman while he was still in prison. Nolan then offered
to buy the remaining fifty one percent of Gaygan from
Watchmaker for two thousand bucks, and Watchmaker gave her the
choice of whose old lady she would rather be.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Oh wow, she's wow, thinking that she would be entitled
to better privileges as Nolan's number one old lady, then
she would be as Watchmaker's number two old lady. Gay
Gan chose Nolan. She lived at Nolan's home in Fort Lauderdale,
where she was watched over by Old Laws biker Michael
Moldy Mike Cave, who also resided at the house while
(19:19):
Nolan was in prison. Gaygan visited Nolan in prison every
weekend and often smuggled cocaine and marijuana for personal use
and for sale.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Look at that might as well.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
During his incarceration, Nolan was quoted as saying, I'd rather
be an outlaw on the penitentiary than some jerk on
the street.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
He eventually got paroded September nineteen eighty. He began dividing
his time between Fort Lauderdale and Tucson, Arizona, well, which
is the city he planned to bring under Outlaw's sphere
of influence. He convinced the parole board that he was
working for a country musician and Outlaws member David Allen Cole, Oh,
although he was actually making a living in Arizona from
the prostitution of his old ladies and drug deal makes
(19:58):
sense all Laws member, huh wow, don't make something you
never knew makes sense.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
He was joined in Tucson by way yeah, Outlaw.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Years from seventy six to eighty two. No, no way,
that was before his commercial success too great Googlely movely
Oh yeah, yeah, Outlaw Country years.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
He's never with the bikers, he says, I was in
the Outlaw motcycle Club.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I have my Outlaw colors on, had my pistol in
my pocket, rolled my mice.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I go up and down the stage while Whalen was singing,
got off my bike, went out, started singing with whaling
and then Mollie came out saying, with us Outlaws of Florida.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh that's the Outlaw Country movement. Movement started because supposedly
that wow, all right, look at you, David Allen Cole.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
He was joining Tucson by other Outlaw members who began
supplying prostitutes to top as bars in the city as well.
Nolan took Gigan to Arizona with him, leading her to
believe that she would be treated to a thirty day honeymoon,
during which she would not be required to work as
a prostitute. There was no honeymoon, and she did in
(21:06):
fact required to work as a hot prostitute.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Hey, what do you do?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I gotta make the money, Nolan. He also frequently began
to beat Gagon after they had moved to Tucson, inflicting
a broken rib on her one occasion.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
On one occasion, January.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Nineteen eighty one, she visited her sick mother in Florida.
Although Nolan could not accompany her because of the terms
of a parole oh he let her go, he threatened
to kill her stepfather, who was her mother's sole caretaker,
if she not returned. When she asked Nolan if she
could buy her freedom, he told her it would cost
one hundred twenty five thousand dollars, but that she could
(21:41):
not pay with the prostitution earnings, that the money belonged
to him. So you're already paying me. You come up
with another hundred and twenty five grand, You're gone.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
On a bitch.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Jeese dude, what's up with this guy?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
March nineteen ninety one March eighty March.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
March in nineteen eighty one, Nolan hit Gagon several times
and called one of his older old ladies to take
her home when she stumbled into a parking motorcycle at.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
A biker bar.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Oh after a night of party and you can't do that.
While being driven home, Gigan escaped from the car at
a stoplight hid behind a convenience store. She was seen
by the popo, who approached her and asked what the
hell you doing, although she begged them.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
To leave her alone, leave me alone. While she was
being questioned by the police, Nolan's other old lady alerted
him to the situation and he was able to take
her home after he rode to the scene on his
motorcycle and he convinced the police says she had just
too much to drink. Gagan jumped off the back of
Nolan's motorcycle at another stop light and trying to escape again.
Buddy caught her and punched her repeatedly in the face
(22:42):
until she said, all right, oh wow, I'll get back
on the motorcycle the cops. What are the cops to wing?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Right wow?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
When they returned to their home, Nolan broke Agan's jaw,
threatened to kill that bitch, pissed the whipped her too
until she was unconscious. Nolan allowed Gagan to visit a
hospital after she concocted a false story to explain her injuries.
Gagan spent six days in hospital, where she had a
pin surgically implanted in her jaw and her mouth wired shut.
(23:11):
During a visit to her in hospital, Nolan brought another
old lady. As he stood over the batter Gagon, Nolan
said to the other old lady, you see what I
did to her. I'm in love with her. I don't
even like you, motherfucker. Go ahead, piss me off.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
This fucking guy, dude woo.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
After arriving home from the hospital, Iris, she woke up
one night to find Nolan orally sodomizing his new old lady.
Whoa just look at her bat alone? She was, Oh,
but it was a thirteen year old girl. That's not
cool at all. Guy, What are you doing? Oh no,
this maide at what she had witnessed, She attempted suicide
by overdosing on pills.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
When Nolan discovered her unconscious, he dragged her from room
to room and beat her with a belt for over
three hours.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Oh shit.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
She managed to escaped from Nolan the following day with
the help of a friend and returned to her parents
home in Florida. Kagan's parents then phoned the cops. She
eventually agreed to give police a statement against Big Jim.
It's gone far enough, Holy Faly moly Man.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
After she turned to Florida and April with nineteen eighty one,
Nolan arranged to purchase another woman from his longtime outlaw friend,
Sad Sam Nail. And he's sad, he goes, I need
another bitch here. I'm losing money. I needed to get
another one out on the street. He also began conspiring
with Nail the traffic cocaine from South Florida Arizona, which
(24:30):
they succeeded in doing on at.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Least two occasions.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Good for you guys, with another outlaw, James Blue Starrett,
to transpart a large quanity marijuana to Arizona from Florida
as well on drugs.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
But now that's finally guy, he's gonna do some more.
On July eleventh, nineteen eighty one, Big Jim shot and
killed a man, John McQuillan. I was in the parking
lot of the Bashfulle Bandit, which was a Tucson biker bar,
supposedly because the men were arguing because no one had
been rapidly playing the same song on the jukebox.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Can we all been there?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
He discharged thirteen rounds from a nine millimeter handgun and
hit McCullen eight times, after McQuillan brandished a thirty eight
caliber handgun.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
AM we should have done that? Dumb ass? Is wow well?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Nolan arrested immediately afterwards by a Tucson police officer he
witnessed the shooting from a distance, and charged them with
the murder. After procuring bail on the murder charges, Nolan
was arrested at his home on the twenty fifth of
August nineteen eighty one by the ATF on federal weapons
possessing charges and connection with the shooting of McQuillan.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Oh haven't been convicted of two felonies in Florida State
court in nineteen sixty six seventy six no one obviously
prohibit prohibited from possessing a firearm right. ATF agents discovered
three guns and playing view in the living room of
his own.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Oh shit.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Nolan's federal firearms trial was originally scheduled to begin November second,
nineteen eighty one. It was a lot having in nineteen
eighty one for this guy right, But the court allowed
four continuances, including one at Nolan's request to allow him
to prepare additional evidence, and others to await the completion
of a state murder trial, which was initially scheduled to start
January twenty first, eighty two.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
The trial went ahead March second, nineteen eighty two, after
the court refused to grant additional continuances. Nolan's defense attorney,
Bertram Polis, claimed that pre trial news coverage of the
mcwillan shooting would make it impossible for his client to
receive a fair trial.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
You know, I'm sticking to the whole, the whole media
covers making possible for fair trial. How about don't fucking
kill somebody?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Right?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
And you expect concerns that the trial of Nolan and
his co defendant Larry Savage they call.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Him Stitch may become a mini murder trial.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
The court took several steps to control prejudice at trial,
including moving proceedings from Tucson to Phoenix and excluding any
reversence to Nolan's motorcycle gang connections, as well as evidence is.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Derived from wiretaps. And they did.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
This guy favor. It's cool you moved to Phoenix or whatever.
But you think when the news there gets a hold
of it, like oh famous, or you know this murder
guy's got a trace and now everybody in Phoenix knows
about him. Yeah, stupid hel Iris. She acted as a
government witness and testified at the trial that Nolan had
received several guns in Arizona between October and December of
(27:18):
nineteen eighty. Due to fears for her safety, she was
placed under police protection. Nolan was then committed on all
charges and sentence to ten years. That's it in Fredi prison.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Savage was acquitted of eight in and a betting Nolan's
receipt of a firearm. Okay, that's only on the gun charge.
What about the murder trial?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Doing right well? While waiting trial for the murder, Nolan
became it born again Christian. I'm sure he did.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
He began writing and copyright in Christian song such as
put the Prayer Back in School. After repeated delays, his
state murder trial finally commenced in June of nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
He was acquitted to the murder. Mcquillan's killing. It was
deemed self defense and.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
What world was it self defense? Just because on brandishes
of firearms?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Vote Nolan convicted in Arizona receiving the earnings of a prostitute,
sentenced to five years in prison.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
At least he's doing in jail somethings nineteen thirty. He's
still in jail for the firearms. June third, nineteen eighty
sixth the majority of the Outlaws South Florida Chapter, including
the already imprisoned Big Jim and his vice president Freddy
Yankee Hegney. They were all indicted in a federal racketeering
case OH, which covered a series of crimes in Broward
County between seventy and eighty five. Drug sales, robberies, kidnappings, prostitution, extortion,
(28:30):
and eleven moitas and eleven murders were listed among over
one hundred predicate acts in the indictment.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
OH.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
The acts listened in the indictment included crimes which some
of the defendants had previously been tried for, with guilty
verdicts in some cases and acquittals and others. All right,
but now this is a whole different story because it's
under Rico. Baby.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
The racket racketeering trial of Nolan five other South Florida
Outlaws began in Fort Lauderdale twenty seventh of January nineteen
eighty eight, after five weeks of jury selection. Federal prosecutors
portrayed the Outlaws on in trial as members of a
criminal enterprise bound by a code of silence who profited
from drug dealing, in prostitution, and evaded arrest for fifteen
(29:13):
years by intimidating and killing witnesses.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Nolan was accused of extortion, assault, ordering multiple murders, and
forcing women into prostitution by threatening their families.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Assistant US Attorney General Assistant US Attorney Gregor Keiho, representing
the federal government, described Nolan as a man motivated by power, power,
and money. Defense attorneys maintained that even if the defendants
had committed each crime listed in the indictment, the acts
were not even carried out for the benefit of the
Outlaws organization, and they contended that some prosecution witnesses had
(29:47):
been paid as much as seventy grand by the government
and had charges against them, dismissing an exchange for their testimony.
Who cares, Oh wow, so it works Nolan. He was
represented by the defense attorney Charles G. White of Miami.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Following a fourteen month trial, the longest in the history
of the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Florida, Wow Nolan was convicted on twenty third of
January nineteen eighty nine of violate and conspiracy to violate
the Racketeer A Rico Act. The jury found that the
government had proven thirty four of the thirty eight predicate
(30:20):
acts Childs against So Big Jim.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
These acts included.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Ordering the murders of George Hartman, Edwin Wiley, Albert Simmons,
Naomi Sinacub, the extortion of Jase of Joyce, Carlene Tina Wittenstein,
Von Foreman, and Irish Gagon, and narcotics and prostitution offenses.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
On the day of the jury returned its verdict, Nolan
wore a T shirt in the court bearing the slogan
support your local Outlaws. All five of Nolan's co defendants
were also each convicted of at least one count in
the indictment, had a sentence in here in Miami. Had
a sentencing hearing in Miami October twenty third, nineteen eighty nine.
His attorney he presented five witnesses. They included ministers, members
(31:04):
of Christian motorcycle clubs, and a Catholic high school teacher.
We testified that he was a sincere born again Christian.
Too bad, that doesn't excuse you from past crimes.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Bro the Reverend Daniel Burgoyne, who had a jail house
ministry in Tucson. He testified that he was convinced of
Nolan's sincerity after observing the biker sobbing and crying before God,
and he said he never missed a Bible study. He
never missed a church service.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Oh why would he when he's got nowhere else to do.
It's time to get out of your cell.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Right.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Assistant US Attorney Teresa van Vliet was skeptical of White
assertions that Nolan had changed his life, however, and counter
that as far back as ninety six nine, attorneys for
Nolan had assured judges that he would cease associating without laws.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
If you were given reduced sentences.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Van Vliet stated, he's made promises throughout his whole life
that he's going to be a good boy, be a
productive member of society, but as track record shows, he can't.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yeah on US District Judge WILLIAMS. Latch. He sentenced Nolan
to serve two consecutive terms of twenty five years in
federal prison, and recommended that he not be considered for
pearl until he has served all fifty years. SAM he
was sentenced by his lot to the maximum of twenty
years on each racketeer account, in addition to another ten
years as requested by the government, which they argued that
(32:29):
Nolan was a special dangerous offender.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Wow. I would have hoped so. Wow.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
The influence of the once powerful South Florida Chapter of
the Outlaws wayne severely, partially due to Nolan's incarceration. By
the time of his sentence in nineteen eighty nine, the
chapter's membership had diminished less than a dozen. According to Keijo,
South Florida Outlaws fell off when Jim went to jail
(32:55):
and then he went to Arizona.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
They never had another leader like Jim.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Sergeant Bob Faulkner of the Broward County Sheriff's Office concurred, saying,
I don't think they'll ever have a leader again with
the chrisma of Jim Nolan. Nolan was released from prison
October twenty first, twenty sixteen, after serving twenty six years
of a sentence, but.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
They judge a fucking liar, all right, twenty yeah, it's
seventy uh sixteen and apparently, uh gone on to live
a better life because he's not been in the news
or anything or not back with.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Out Laws apparently, So I'm good that shit.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Maybe he did.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Maybe he did. Huh good Griham, I guess good for
old uh William or William Jim Nolan. Jesus, dude, Holy moly,
wown of a bitch.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
I wonder if.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Next month when we get to old Harry Bowman, who
as the international president.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
For I believe still.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Now so not still, but uh yeah, he was the
international president. I'm wondering if this guy did the same thing.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
All right, shout him a bitch, but uh, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
The first motorcycle group was seen treating the women like that.
I mean, obviously they probably beat him and done all
that shit, and no way they were pimping out right
doing that ship.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Dude, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Uh yeah, that's Outlaws. Jim Nolan, president of the South
Florida chapter of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
He was the motherfucker, he sure was.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
We'll be back next month for Harry Bowman. Like I said,
but next week we are getting into another remastered series
where we continueing where we're continuing, yes, our Prohibition uh stuff.
Don't know what we're gonna do yet. Maybe maybe we

(34:48):
the King of the Everglades, or maybe we'll even do
Knuckie Nucky, Johnson Nookie, Nicky Thompson, Thomas Thompson or Johnson Nucky. Yeah,
Nucky the guy from Boardwalk Empire. Yeah. So we got
Prohibition coming up and then rounding out the month with
some more serial killers. So we'll be back then. You
