Three people accused of obstructing a federal investigation into a motorcycle club with alleged criminal ties were acquitted Thursday in United States District Court. Larry McDaniel, Howard Brown and Sean King were indicted in April 2013, accused of impeding a federal informant investigating the Cleveland chapter of the Black Pistons Motorcycle Club. McDaniel, region president of Outlaw Motorcycle Club, was accused of telling members to close down the Cleveland clubhouse and to remove all insignia from the clubhouse.
