A federal grand jury indicted 13 people — including members of the Aryan Knights and Severely Violent Criminals gangs — for drug distribution, conspiracy, unlawful possession of firearms and other crimes, according to U.S. Attorney Bart Davis.
Of the 13 people indicted, 11 face drug charges, including 13 counts of distribution of methamphetamine and three counts of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Two people were indicted on gun charges, including three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.
“These gang members and their associates were operating primarily in Ada County, with some activity in Canyon County,” Davis said.
....
The charges stem from an investigation by the Treasure Valley Metro Violent Crimes Task Force. The charges are being prosecuted by the special assistant U.S. attorney hired by the Treasure Valley Partnership, the Canyon County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and the state of Idaho to address gang crimes.
