    LA Judge Bans Mongols From Wearing Trademark Logo

    A federal judge in Los Angeles has barred the Mongols motorcycle gang from wearing or distributing its trademarked logo after authorities arrested dozens of its members in six states including Colorado.

    U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper granted an injunction requested by prosecutors Wednesday that prohibits gang members, their family members and associates from wearing, licensing, selling or distributing the logo.

    Cooper on Tuesday initially limited the order to just selling or distributing the logo.

    At least 61 members were arrested under a racketeering indictment that accuses some of murder, attempted murder and drug sales.
