Hernando deputies seek Warlocks leader in stabbing

BROOKSVILLE -- Hernando County sheriff's deputies are searching for the leader of the Warlocks motorcycle club in connection with a stabbing at a Brooksville home at 7:40 a.m. today. Michael E. Clements, 46, is wanted on a charge of attempted murder related to the incident at his house at 122 Lucas Drive.

The victim, a woman believed to be an acquaintance of Clements, was stabbed multiple times, according to sheriff's spokeswoman Donna Black. She was airlifted to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, where her condition was unknown. The airlift took place at Tom Varn Park in Brooksville, which is near the Lucas Drive home.

A Sheriff's Office alert says that Clements, 6 feet 1 and 220 pounds, is considered armed and dangerous. He was last seen in the passenger seat of a white 1999 Ford F-150 with tinted windows, an extra cab and a black stripe down the sides, with a Florida license plate 130-VXA.

This is the second incident in recent days believed to involve the Warlocks. On Monday night, a fire severely damaged the club's headquarters at 2029 Ganz Drive in Brooksville. The State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the fire, reported at 11:45 p.m., which officials say started in a pool room of the unoccupied building and spread to an adjacent office.

Black said that, so far, the two incidents appear to be unrelated.

And hey RIDER, in this country you are innocent until proven guilty.
