Five Brevard men arrested in connection with Bike Week shooting in New Smyrna Beach
Five Brevard County men were arrested in July 2 raids involving the Mongols biker gang in connection with a Bike Week shooting that took place in New Smyrna Beach earlier this year, according to prosecutors. Volusia County Sheriff's Office and the FBI carried out 28 arrests and executed 14 search warrants, including three in Brevard County. Other warrants were executed at the Mongols clubhouse in Edgewater; four homes in Volusia County; two homes in Miami-Dade and Polk counties; and one home in Palm Beach County and Chesterfield County, Virginia. The 28 people arrested were charged with aggravated rioting, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Among the confirmed Brevard County arrests: Chadwick Price, 38, Titusville, out of county warrant; Douglas White, 29, Titusville, out of county warrant; Gaige Wilson, 31, Cocoa, out of county warrant; Matthew Limperatos, 32, Merritt Island, out of county warrant; and Joseph Summerhill, 36, Rockledge; out of county warrant. Wilson, Summerhill and Limperatos were all arrested on similar charges nearly a year ago. On July 12, 2024, police were called to the corner of U.S. 1 and State Road 50 after three members of the Mongols physically attacked a Warlocks member. The Warlocks member subsequently fired off multiple rounds from a firearm and all four fled the scene. At that time, Brevard County Sheriff's Office and the FBI arrested Wilson, Summerhill and Limperatos. All three were charged with aggravated rioting after the confrontation between members of the Mongols and Warlocks motorcycle gangs in Titusville last year. The July 2 arrests stem from a March 8 confrontation between the rival Warlocks and and Mongols, which resulted in gunfire erupting during a brawl involving over 25 people just before noon. Law enforcement time at the time said a group of Mongols who confronted a group of Warlocks who were already gathered in the RaceTrac parking lot. Two Warlocks were shot in that incident. They sustained minor injuries and declined to cooperate with deputies, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said during a July 2 press conference. During the July 2 raids, law enforcement agents confiscated a number of firearms and will be reviewing warrants to see what other charges they can bring. Check back for updates.

3 dogs seized, 2 found dead after Westmoreland County animal abuse investigation
Police said they seized three dogs and found two others buried in a backyard after they executed a search warrant during an animal abuse investigation in Westmoreland County. Douglas White, 27, and Mackinzie Orndoff, 26, are facing charges after the Westmoreland County District Attorney's Office said a neighbor recorded dozens of videos showing White severely abusing their dogs over the course of several months. The district attorney's office said Monessen police were first contacted on Friday by a neighbor who had more than 50 videos of alleged animal abuse at White and Orndoff's Knox Avenue home. "The abuse ranged from kicking, choking, throwing, aggressively grabbing the dog by the back of its neck, and smashing the dogs' face off the ground," the DA's office said in a news release. In one video, investigators said White threw a dog against the steps, and in another, taken on June 25, he threw a dog down the stairs before dragging it through the yard and back up again. Police executed a search warrant, seizing three dogs and taking them to a local animal rescue for evaluation and treatment. During the investigation, police also said they found two dead dogs buried in the yard. Their bodies will be forensically examined. A second search of the home turned up marijuana and "related paraphernalia," authorities said. White was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, cruelty to animals, animal neglect and drug possession. Orndoff was charged with criminal conspiracy, neglect of vet care and drug possession. Both White and Orndoff were arrested and taken to the Westmoreland County Prison.
