Federal jury convicts four Highwaymen cycle club members

DETROIT (AP) -- Four members of the Detroit Highwaymen Motorcycle Club have been convicted in a racketeering and drug distribution case, the second such trial in a case with 91 defendants.

The U.S. attorney's office says those convicted Wednesday are 40-year-old Leonard Moore, 46-year-old Johnny Jarrell, 39-year-old Robert Flowers and 41-year-old Sean Donovan.

The Detroit trial lasted a month.

In June, a federal jury convicted six other Highwaymen members on a variety of charges.

Prosecutors say the Highwaymen are a violent gang involved in drugs, armed robbery and other crimes.
