The federal government is seeking the forfeiture of property across the state, including Seminole, that was allegedly used in a black-market marijuana operation.

On Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Oklahoma, announced that a federal indictment has been unsealed in relation to a nationwide illegal operation. The indictment charges 51 defendants across 67 counts for their roles in a conspiracy to manufacture black-market marijuana in Oklahoma and then distribute it throughout the United States, including Texas, Mississippi, Kansas, and North Carolina.

In a coordinated takedown late last week, more than 100 law enforcement personnel executed arrest warrants involving 51 defendants from Oklahoma, Texas, New York, North Carolina, Florida, Michigan, Kansas, Mississippi, and California. Of the indicted targets, 28 have been arrested and 23 remain fugitives. All defendants were indicted by a federal grand jury on April 21.
