Who is Austin Christopher Reynolds?
A 26-year-old Key West man affiliated with the Pagan motorcycle gang was arrested Thursday on firearms and drug charges, authorities confirmed.
According to Monroe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Adam Linhardt, Austin Christopher Reynolds is the second person with ties to the group to be arrested by the Sheriff’s Office in a week.
Reynolds was taken into custody Thursday after a traffic stop.
According to Linhardt, Reynolds initially fled from an officer patrolling Stock Island when he saw Reynolds just before 5:15 p.m. in USA 1.
Linhardt said the officer knew Reynolds from previous encounters and was aware that he had a suspended driver’s license.
The officer was unable to keep up with Reynolds’ motorcycle, but he and another officer searched the area and later found Reynolds near Fifth Avenue and Balido Street, authorities said.
According to Linhardt, officers took Reynolds into custody and found about two grams of cocaine and a large knife in his possession.

“The Sheriff’s Office remains vigilant in holding all criminals in our community accountable, as this case shows,” Sheriff Rick Ramsay said in a statement Friday. “I want to thank the deputies involved for their great work on this arrest.”
Linhardt said Reynolds has a prior 2016 felony drug conviction outside of Georgia.
He said Reynolds’ fellow gang member, Justin August Meyer, 31, of Key West, was arrested Jan. 27 following a search warrant at his Staples Avenue home.
About 12 grams of cocaine were found inside his home, along with an AR-15 pistol, a 9mm pistol, 140 rounds of ammunition, $3,310 in suspected drug sales and a digital scale, Linhardt said.
Meyer was arrested on charges of possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
A Pagan gang member was also arrested in 2019 in Monroe County for allegedly making threats on Facebook.
Linhardt said that in that incident, Adam Matthew Miller, 42, of Big Pine Key, posted a photo of himself holding a knife and captioned the image: “Support the Pagan MC or else! Support or life support! Children of the Fire God coming to a neighborhood near you! “
