New Hampshire -- Federal prosecutors are claiming that a mixed martial arts gym in Hudson was financed with narcotics sales. As a consequence the government seized the fighting cage, punching bags and other gym equipment.
U.S. Marshals and DEA agents seized various equipment from the gym July 10, 2008, including gym equipment, furniture, computer equipment, and various vehicles registered to the owner. The court has yet to rule on whether the government can keep the various items, according to nashuatelegraph.com.
Prosecutors filed a drug forfeiture complaint in 2008 against the MMA academy and the gym owner, according to court records.
The case remained sealed until June 29. An Assistant U.S. Attorney notified the court that "the ongoing criminal investigation has been concluded." No criminal charges have been filed, court records show.
The forfeiture complaint alleges that the 28-year-old owner was involved in large-scale trafficking of Oxycontin, a prescription narcotic. The forfeiture complaint alleges that the owner sold a total of about 400 Oxycontin pills on six different occasions in March and April 2008, for a total of more than $18,000, with most sales taking place at the gym.
