Martin Lewis, 62, was booked and charged with engaging in organized criminal activity in connection to a shooting involving motorcycle gangs at a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco at around noon on May 17, 2015. The shooting left nine dead and 18 injured.


SAN ANTONIO — A retired San Antonio Police Department detective with ties to the Bandidos Motorcycle Club was among the 170 people arrested in Waco on Sunday after nine people were killed following a brawl between motorcycle clubs and gangs at a Twin Peaks restaurant.

Martin Lewis, 62, served 32 years with SAPD until his retirement in February 2004. He was charged with engaging in organized criminal activity and still being held on $1 million bond, according to McLennan County jail records.

Pictures posted to Lewis' Facebook identify him as a one-time member of the Patrons Motorcycle Club, however, other images show him wearing different red and gold club patches identifying him as a supporter of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club, and that show he is based in San Antonio.

Other photos show Lewis posing with high-ranking members of the Bandidos, including the Austin chapter president.
