SALEM, MO. (AP) -- Federal and state law enforcement agencies have filed a lawsuit asking to seize a 350-acre south-central Missouri farm where concerts were held because they allege that drugs were bought, sold and used on the property.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, the Missouri Highway Patrol and the U.S. Attorney's Office filed the complaint in federal court in St. Louis.
The agencies said in the complaint that an investigation of Camp Zoe found that the farm's owner and event operators were aware of drug activity during events and "took no immediate action to prevent" their sale and use.
The lawyer for Jimmy Tebeau, the camp's owner, said the law that lets the government take land, money and homes, is unfair.
