Five “Sin City Deciples” Bikers Sentenced for Motorcycle Theft Ring Targeting OC BikeFest

MARYLAND – Five defendants associated with the Sin City Deciples outlaw motorcycle club have been sentenced after pleading guilty to participating in a criminal organization and related charges. 

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

“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 in an announcement on Wednesday. “These sentences show that our Office will prosecute any criminal organization that seeks to prey on Marylanders and profit from their losses.” 

Court documents show that 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. A large proportion of the thefts occurred during BikeFest in Ocean City, where the defendants stole numerous motorcycles over multiple days, abandoning some along Route 50 and transporting others to stash locations in Baltimore County for resale or parts.

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

Between Nov. 2025 and March of this year, the following 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. He faces similar charges in Virginia and Pennsylvania.

• Darius Kyre “Sluggz” Wilson was sentenced to 10 years of active incarceration. He was also ordered to pay restitution and will serve five years of supervised probation upon his release from prison. 

• Marque Lava “StaiRdy” Smith received five years of active incarceration. Smith also pleaded guilty to 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 two years of active incarceration. She was ordered to pay restitution and will serve four years of supervised probation upon her release from prison.  

• Kai Dupree “Stiff” Burrell received 67 days of active incarceration. 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. An exception has been made for Darius and Megan Wilson who are married, and therefore permitted to have contact with each other.
