The warrant was served by the ATF’s Special Response Team, which is often deployed for search warrants or high-risk situations, said an agency spokeswoman at the scene.

An alphabet soup of agencies assisted the ATF in the raid, which took place around 6 a.m. at the club at 1104 E. Diamond Ave., including the FBI and DEA.

The Grim Reapers Motorcycle Club was founded in Louisville in 1965 and a local chapter was organized in Warrick County in the mid-1970s.

In June 1983, the local chapter moved its club to a house on Indiana Street near First Avenue, where it stayed until September 2017. The motorcycle club’s current hangout on Diamond Avenue is the former location of the Exotic She Lounge strip club.
