Shortly afterward, witnesses came forward to say they saw a person pouring some fluid on the clubhouse’s back porch and lightning it, Suchodolski said. Once ignited, the flames flashed up then went out, the witnesses said.
Investigators found evidence at the scene corroborating the witnesses’ accounts, Suchodolski said.
“It appears to have been intentionally set,” Suchodolski said of the fire’s origin, adding the criminal element of the probe was referred to the Saginaw Police Department.
Police on Friday, June 16, arrested a 32-year-old suspect on a charge of first-degree arson. The man was released from the jail the following afternoon and has not been charged by prosecutors.
The fire itself did not cause much damage to the clubhouse, which the Fraternal Order of Outlaws BC has owned since February 2019.
The Outlaws Motorcycle Club was established in 1935 in McCook, Illinois. Since then, it has expanded to 41 countries. It has four Michigan chapters, including one in Bay City.
“The Outlaws Motorcycle Club is not a criminal organization,” the club states on its website. ”It is a motorcycle club. … We may not live by the rules of society, but we do live by its laws.”
