EVANSVILLE – After indicting and sentencing more than a dozen members of an Evansville motorcycle club accused of being affiliated with a large-scale methamphetamine ring, the federal government is now trying to seize the group’s clubhouse.

Zach Myers, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, filed a civil complaint in December asking a judge to forfeit the building at 1104 E. Diamond Ave. “to the United States of America.”

The civil case, which has featured an amended complaint and the dropping of a defendant, is still winding through court. The latest filing came on Sept. 5.

The amended complaint, issued in late June, says the building is “subject to forfeiture … because it was used, or intended to be used, to commit, or to facilitate, the commission of drug-trafficking offenses.”
