MUNCIE — Authorities want to retain ownership of 458 silver bars — believed to be worth more than $220,000 — seized from a northern Delaware County property last November.
A forfeiture lawsuit filed on behalf of Delaware County Prosecutor Jeffrey Arnold also targets “miscellaneous” coins — believed to be worth several thousand dollars — found Nov. 5-7 during a massive search of 140 acres in the 18700 block of North Wheeling Avenue.
According to search warrants, authorities unsuccessfully looked for human remains on the property, just south of the community of Wheeling.
An informant had told Muncie police the former owner of the land, James “Buddy” Reynolds, for years operated a “marijuana distribution empire” at the site, and had fatally shot an associate and buried his body there.
