A member of the Outlaws motorcycle club will be laid to rest Saturday near Clover, South Carolina and the event has gotten the attention of local police.
Experts tell us funerals are typically "neutral" territory, but tensions have been growing between the Outlaws and Hells Angels over the past few years. "We are just gonna treat it just like any other service with dignity and respect and we know that everyone else will be there for the same reasons," says ML Ford & Sons Funeral Home Director Jay Dover.
The funeral is for a 52-year-old biker who died in a motorcycle accident. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police tell us they have the funeral on their radar and will be looking for bikers flying their colors as they travel through Charlotte to get to the Clover area.
York County Sheriff's deputies tell us they'll be at the funeral for traffic control and in case any security issues flare up.
