Biker Club Members Sentenced In Interstate Motorcycle Theft Ring

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Five members of the Sin City Deciples motorcycle club have been sentenced after pleading guilty to participating in a criminal organization and involvement in a motorcycle theft scheme that exceeded $100,000.

The convictions are a result of from a multi-jurisdictional investigation led by the Office of the Attorney General’s Organized Crime Unit into their coordinated motorcycle theft enterprise operating across Worcester, Anne Arundel, Baltimore and Prince George’s counties, as well as portions of Virginia and Pennsylvania.

The investigation revealed that the individuals in the motorcycle club formed a criminal organization and were linked to at least 19 high-value, stolen motorcycles – primarily Harley Davidson models – from dealerships and large-scale motorcycle events. The group specifically targeted the custom motorcycles of attendees at the 2024 Ocean City BikeFest, according to Maryland's attorney general.

“The members of this crime ring treated BikeFest attendees and motorcycle dealerships as easy targets, stealing and dismantling people’s prized possessions to fund their criminal enterprise,” said Attorney General Anthony G. Brown. “These sentences show that our office will prosecute any criminal organization that seeks to prey on Marylanders and profit from their losses.”

Members of the criminal organization traveled together to scope out and identify target motorcycles, stole motorcycles in coordinated groups, used stash houses to store and dismantle stolen vehicles, transported stolen motorcycles across state lines and sold motorcycles and parts for profit. The group frequently changed license plates, removed identifying features and used stolen motorcycles to commit additional thefts, Brown said.

A large proportion of the thefts happened during BikeFest in Ocean City where the defendants stole numerous motorcycles across multiple days, abandoning some along Route 50 and transporting others to stash locations in Baltimore County for resale or parts, the attorney general's office said.

Between November 2025 and March 2026, all five defendants pleaded guilty before the Honorable Beau H. Oglesby in the Circuit Court for Worcester County.

• Jermaine Alphonso “Banga” Holland was sentenced to 20 years of incarceration. Holland is facing additional charges in Virginia and Pennsylvania for similar conduct.
• Darius Kyre “Sluggz” Wilson was sentenced to a total of 20 years of incarceration, suspending all but 10 years. He also was ordered to pay restitution and will serve five years of supervised probation upon his release from prison.
• Marque Lava "StaiRdy” Smith received 10 years of incarceration, suspending all but five years. Smith also pleaded guilty to the illegal possession of ammunition. He was ordered to pay restitution and will serve five years of supervised probation upon his release from prison.
• Megan Alexis “Pyro” Wilson was sentenced to five years, suspending all but two years. She was ordered to pay restitution and will serve four years of supervised probation upon her release from prison. She is married to Darius Wilson.
• Kai Dupree “Stiff” Burrell received five years of incarceration, suspending all but 67 days. He was ordered to pay a $3,000 fine and $500 in restitution and was placed on supervised probation for five years.

As part of their probation, all five defendants are prohibited from having any contact with outlaw motorcycle clubs or “1%” clubs, including the Sin City Deciples. They are barred from attending future motorcycle-focused events, including Ocean City BikeFest, and must remove any gang-related imagery or references from social media or personal materials.

They are further prohibited from selling or promoting any outlaw motorcycle gang paraphernalia, from entering Harley-Davidson dealerships and from any conduct that would associate them with motorcycle club activity.

“This case reinforces our uncompromising commitment to public safety and accountability. We will be clear, Ocean City is not a place for unlawful behavior. If you choose to break the law, you will be investigated and you will be held accountable," said Chief Raymond J. Austin of the Ocean City Police Department.
