SAN ANTONIO — Martin Lewis – the retired San Antonio police detective with ties to the Bandidos Motorcycle Club who was arrested at the biker brawl in Waco this weekend – has been fired from his job as a bus driver for Northside ISD.

The school district issued a news release saying Lewis, 62, had been terminated from his job Wednesday following his arrest in Waco, said district spokesman Pascual Gonzalez.

NISD said the district hired the retired police officer as a bus driver in Aug. 2014. He drove out of the North Station, one of five bus depots in NISD.

Lewis 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. He remained behind bars Wednesday in the McLennan County Jail on a charge of engaging in organize criminal activity. His bail, like the others, is set at $1 million.

He served 32 years with SAPD until his retirement in February 2004 and was most recently in the vice unit. 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.

The Bandidos, considered an outlaw motorcycle gang by the FBI, are one of the groups believed to be heavily involved in the deadly brawl that has made international headlines.

Greg Browning, executive president of Patron MC, said Lewis left the club about a year ago.

“SAPD’s PIO office just became aware that one of the suspects arrested in Waco/McClellan County for the incident at Twin Peaks is retired SAPD Detective Martin Lewis,” SAPD spokesman Sgt. Javier Salazar said in the statement. “At this time, we have no other information available, beyond what is in this release.”

Lewis RSVP'd to the Merceneraries MC Annual Celebration on Facebook at Cowboys Alamo City Harley-Davidson on San Antonio's Northeast Side.
