On March 17, 2023, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, along with federal and state agencies, executed search warrants on multiple properties linked to the “Death’s Angels” biker gang. During the raid, investigators uncovered a staggering amount of contraband: * Over 50 pounds of methamphetamine * 20 pounds of cocaine * 10 pounds of heroin * 1,000 pounds of marijuana * Numerous prescription pills In addition to the drugs, authorities also confiscated an array of weapons, including: * Assault rifles * Shotguns * Handguns * Homemade explosives “This raid represents the largest drug seizure in the history of the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office,” said Sheriff Sidney Gautreaux. “We have crippled this violent and organized criminal enterprise.” A total of 35 suspected members of the Death’s Angels were arrested and charged with various drug trafficking and firearms offenses. Among those arrested was the gang’s alleged leader, a 45-year-old man identified as John “Reaper” Davis. Authorities believe the biker gang was responsible for distributing a significant portion of illegal drugs in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas. The raid is expected to disrupt their operations and deal a major blow to the local drug trade. “This action sends a clear message that we will not tolerate the trafficking of dangerous drugs in our community,” said U.S. Attorney Ronald Richards. “We are committed to working with our law enforcement partners to dismantle criminal organizations and make Baton Rouge a safer place.” The investigation leading to the raid took several months and involved the cooperation of multiple agencies, including the DEA, FBI, and Louisiana State Police. Further arrests are anticipated as the investigation continues.
