White Supremacist’s Possessions Seized
SAN DIEGO — Using a court order, county marshals went to Tom Metzger’s Fallbrook home this week and seized a pickup truck, video equipment and other items to help satisfy a $12.5-million judgment against him and his white supremacist organization.
Marshals also tried to take away a trailer where Metzger and his organization, White Aryan Resistance, often met, but flat tires on the trailer left that job for another day, San Diego attorney James McElroy said.
McElroy has led the legal campaign to seize Metzger’s home and other assets since a Portland, Ore., jury issued the verdict in October.
The jury found Metzger, his son, John, the White Aryan Resistance and two skinheads liable for the $12.5 million in the beating death of Mulugeta Seraw, a 27-year-old Ethiopian immigrant living in Portland.
