The Gangs of Cape County ,the Galloping Goose, which is an old one-percenter club expand into that area that had formerly been held by the Pharaohs


Kathy Sweeney Investigates: The Gangs of Cape County - KFVS12 News & Weather Cape Girardeau, Carbondale, Poplar Bluff: "Outlaw motorcycle gangs are considered criminal organizations by federal, state, and local law enforcement. Members are often tied to violent crimes.
And at least one outlaw motorcycle gang is looking for new blood, right here in the Heartland.
'We're starting to see what we would consider outlaw motorcycle gangs showing up right here, downtown Jackson, downtown Cape,' said Cape Girardeau County Sheriff John Jordan
'When you see them and see that little diamond patch on there (front of jacket or vest) and it says one-percenter, typically they're bad news,' Jordan said. 'A one-percenter basically is saying, I'm tied to a group that's above the rule of law. And for that reason, I don't like them around.'
On the backs of those jackets and vests, a patch representing allegiance to a single motorcycle club, the Galloping Goose.
To learn more about the Goose, I met Missouri State Highway Patrol Lieutenant Sid Conklin, patrol expert on outlaw motorcycle gangs.
'Geographically in Southeast Missouri, we're seeing the Galloping Goose, which is an old one-percenter club expand into that area that had formerly been held by the Pharaohs back during the late 80's and into the 90's,' Conklin said. 'And the Goose have moved into that area and established a clubhouse.'
Conklin's referring to a non-descript bar building out on Highway 177. Once marked by a motorcycle club called the Midwest Drifters, Conklin tells me the Goose painted over the sign when they took over the building, and took control of the Drifters."
