VW The Orlando Sentinel, Thursday, March 29, 1984 3 arrest Outlaw accused of trying to cut man's tattoo off By Al Truesdell OF THE SENTINEL STAFF DELAND An Outlaw motorcycle gang member who has been a fugitive since he skipped a court appearance nearly two years ago was captured in Ocala, authorities said Wednesday. Michael Lee Cave, known as "Moldy Mike," 35, accused of trying to cut a tattoo off a man's arm, is being held in the Volusia County jail on $325,000 bail stemming from charges in Florida and Indiana. Cave was arrested by Marion County deputies while he was driving in Ocala late Tuesday, said Marion County Sheriff Don Moreland. When he was stopped, Cave gave deputies the name of Everett Holcomb in an apparent effort to avoid arrest, but he was identified through fingerprints, Moreland said. The Fort Lauderdale biker had been a fugitive since he skipped a court appearance in DeLand on June 8, 1982.
Cave was released from a Broward County jail May 11, 1982, after posting $16,000 bail. His release stirred a controversy among law enforcement officials who questioned the wisdom of setting free the man one Broward County deputy called the "most vicious" of the South Florida Outlaws. It was the second time Cave had failed to show up for a court appearance in Volusia County, Assistant State Attorney Law- MONEY be The reduced hospital to From 1 He said he began asking his questions after a constituent complained to him that the hospital has thousands of accounts that are owed money because of duplicate payments. The duplications occur either when a patient pays his hospital bill and then his insurance company also pays or when two insurance companies pay off the claim of one patient. Grover Ashcraft, a Pierson fern grower who has been critical of the hospital administration for years, said he notified Bell of the double payment matter after talking with Danny Gainen, a hospital authority commissioner who said he has been trying to do his own investigation into the reimbursem*nts.
"They ought to pay the people interest," Ashcraft said. "That money doesn't belong to them." When a former patient asks to be reimbursed for a duplicate payment, the money usually is returned within three weeks if the money actually is owed, said Steve Yaskal, hospital finance director. Before the money is reimbursed, the patient's records are checked to see if his insurance company has paid the claim and if he owes the hospital anything from previous treatments, Yaskal said. If the patient owes the hospital money, the amount is deducted from the reimbursem*nt. Records on Monday showed that the hospital owes about $148,000 to 1,335 accounts, Yaskal said.
He predicted that by next week the amount owed will VOTING From 1 and that she can't change his place of residence unless he requests it, despite the feelings of city officials. "It's the voters' responsibility to keep their addresses current with us," Odham said.

Some people in Daytona Beach Shores aren't satisthat there are names on the lists that fied, arguing have been there well beyond the two-year period Odham has refused to remove names that and that have been shown to be ineligible.

Volusia County authorities have charged Cave with aggravated battery and three counts of failure to appear in court.
The aggravated battery charge stems from a 1981 incident in Daytona Beach. Police said two Outlaw members got into a barroom argument with a man named Serge Seguin. The argument came about because Seguin had a tattoo with a skull and crossed pistons that resembled the club's insignia. Outside the bar, the two Outlaws tried to carve the emblem from Seguin's arm with a buck knife, police said. One of them hit Seguin in the face, knocking him to the ground, and then kicked his face and head, police said.

Maintaining that the city had rightfully seized the property, Assistant City Attorney Reginald Moore said Munro had the opportunity to show that he had been entrapped at the forfeiture hearing but instead chose to remain silent. Calling it a Boda countered that Munro had the constitutional right to remain silent to protect his defense and had been placed in the "untenable" position of being forced to a forfeiture hearing before his criminal trial. Moore disagreed, saying that Munro could have asked that the forfeiture hearing be postponed. The city attorney also said Munro did not contest the forfeiture of the cash, only that his wife protested the seizure of the BMW, maintaining that it was hers.
