Also known as the American Outlaws Association (A.O.A.) and Outlaws Nation, the Outlaws Motorcycle Club features an estimated 1,700 members in 176 U.S. chapters and 12 foreign countries. U.S. law enforcement authorities claim the gang controls most of the Midwest, including much of the Great Lakes region. As you can see from their extensive criminal activities, there's not much the Outlaws haven't been convicted of, accused of or associated with. Cut them some slack, though: they've been around since the 1930s.
