"US Marshals say that Orville Cochran served as the President of the Outlaws motorcycle gang. Back in the mid-90's, the Outlaws went to war against the Hell's Angels. Cops say Cochran set off a bomb at a Hell's Angels tattoo parlor in Chicago. A month later, cops say Cochran led the Outlaws in an attack against the Hell's Angels at a speedway in Erie, New York, where one of the Angels was killed. Cochran's wanted for shooting and killing another Hell's Angel in Chicago. In 2001, police swooped down on the Outlaws, and arrested all of their top players except for Cochran. Cops believe he may be hiding in the Chicago area."
Thoughts? The above was an AMW radio description of his case. He was aired at least in 2009 on Fox and also during AMW's Lifetime season. Also, some technical stuff regarding his year and wanted location for this thread. Even though his crimes stretched over a decade, and he was primarily in Chicago (I think even AMW said he was wanted out of Chicago), 2001 was his official warrant date, and it was issued by the Marshals office in Wisconsin at the time. Hence, the reasons for the thread title
I remember when some of us used to post on AMW.com's message board when it existed thought Cochran could be a potential candidate for the Top 15 List, and with the capture of Randy Yager, another former Outlaws leader, he probably would make an even better candidate today.
Like Yager, there are several chapters around the country and world that could be hiding Cochran. Although I also wonder because of the rivalry between Cochran and other biker gangs if he wasn't eventually murdered himself.
