- On Thursday, July 30, 1992 the DEA seized the business account of the
- owner of the Yello Sub restaurant on the Hill in Boulder. The account was
- seized under the Federal Forfeiture Act after an employee was arrested for
- allegedly selling illegal drugs through the mail.
- However, the DEA has not filed any charges against the owner of the
- restaurant. And they have no evidence linking the account with the alleged
- drug mailings.
- Furthermore, the DEA never notified the owner that his account had been
- seized. He discovered it after his checks began to bounce.
- These seizures are happening all over the country. If you, or someone
- you live with, or even someone that works for you, is arrested on drug-related
- charges, your home, your business, and your money can all be confiscated
- without due process of the law.
- No longer are you innocent until proven guilty!
- Citizens must fight back at these un-Constitutional laws. The DEA is
- obviously trying to test the waters in Boulder to see how much they can get
- away with. We need to stand up to them now and let them know that we will not
- meekly stand by and let them violate our rights and destroy our neighbors'
- lives.
- There will be a protest and eat-in at the restaurant:
