Five members of the Sin City Deciples outlaw motorcycle club were sentenced in Worcester County Circuit Court for their roles in a coordinated motorcycle theft enterprise that stole at least 19 high-value bikes — primarily Harley-Davidson models — across Maryland and neighboring states.
Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced the sentences today. The convictions stem from a multi-jurisdictional investigation by the Office of the Attorney General’s Organized Crime Unit into thefts in Worcester, Anne Arundel, Baltimore and Prince George’s counties, as well as parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The group specifically targeted custom motorcycles at the 2024 Ocean City BikeFest, stealing numerous bikes over several days. Some were abandoned along Route 50 while others were taken to stash houses in Baltimore County for dismantling and resale.
“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,” Attorney General Brown said. “These sentences show that our Office will prosecute any criminal organization that seeks to prey on Marylanders and profit from their losses.”
Between November 2025 and March 2026, all five defendants pleaded guilty before the Honorable Beau H. Oglesby.
Sentences were as follows:
- Jermaine Alphonso “Banga” Holland: 20 years incarceration.
- Darius Kyre “Sluggz” Wilson: 20 years, suspending all but 10 years, plus restitution and 5 years supervised probation.
- Marque Lava “StaiRdy” Smith: 10 years, suspending all but 5 years, plus restitution and 5 years supervised probation.
- Megan Alexis “Pyro” Wilson: 5 years, suspending all but 2 years, plus restitution and 4 years supervised probation.
- Kai Dupree “Stiff” Burrell: 5 years, suspending all but 67 days, plus a $3,000 fine, $500 restitution and 5 years supervised probation.
As conditions of probation, all five are barred from contact with outlaw motorcycle clubs or “1%” clubs, attending motorcycle events including Ocean City BikeFest, displaying gang-related imagery and selling or promoting outlaw motorcycle gang paraphernalia. They are also prohibited from entering Harley-Davidson dealerships.
Ocean City Police Chief Raymond J. Austin praised the investigation. “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.”
The thefts occurred during large-scale motorcycle events and at dealerships, with the group using coordinated tactics such as changing license plates and removing identifying features. BikeFest, held annually in Ocean City, draws thousands of riders from across Maryland, including many from Southern Maryland’s Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties. Local motorcycle clubs and enthusiasts frequently participate, making the thefts particularly impactful for regional riders.
The investigation involved collaboration among the Ocean City Police Department, Worcester County State’s Attorney Kristin M. Heiser, the Maryland State Police, Baltimore County Police and federal partners.
