Arrested was Derek Queen of Key West, Anthony Eliopulos of Ramrod Key and David Mirth of Big Pine. The arrests came after deputies said Jeffrey Jones, of Key West, was at the restaurant’s bar wearing a black T-shirt with white lettering that reads, “Support Your Local Outlaws.” Three Pagan's MC members showed up and proceeded to forcibly walk Jones outside the restaurant and hold him against his will.
No one connected with the fight, even the restaurant’s management, wanted to cooperate with law enforcement. The alleged victim, Jones, repeatedly tried to leave the scene despite deputies warning him to stay put. After 11 warnings from deputies, Jones tried once more to leave. Deputies put him in handcuffs and arrested on a charge of obstructing a criminal investigation.
All four were still locked up at the county jail on Stock Island the day after the fight. But Jones was released in the afternoon without having to post bond. The Pagan’s MC members each have bonds set at $150,000.
MCSO detectives had to reach out for help from the Drug Enforcement Administration to view the restaurant’s security video because they said the management refused to hand it over. So detectives obtained a federal subpoena for the video and that prompted management to release it.
