MORGANTON, NC — The wife of former Foothills Regional Airport manager Alex Nelson has until the end of the month to argue why her claim to items the government seized should be returned.
The federal government filed a motion at the end of March to dismiss the claims of Nelson’s wife Tammy S. Nelson, saying she has no claim to the property seized during an FBI raid of the airport in June.
On March 30, United State District Judge Martin Reidinger signed an order giving Tammy Nelson 30 days to respond to the federal government’s motion to dismiss her claims.
Tammy Nelson claims her money paid for a Ford Expedition, Chevrolet Corvette, Sun Tracker pontoon boat, a swimming pool and improvements to the couple’s home, most of which the government seized during the raid.
Reidinger’s order says if Tammy Nelson fails to respond to the order that would likely lead to her petition claiming the property to be dismissed.
Alex Nelson and former airport operations manager Brad Adkins pleaded guilty in federal court in Asheville on Sept. 14 to embezzling and conspiracy. Alex Nelson also pleaded guilty to money laundering. The two men have not been sentenced in the case, and federal officials say an investigation into the matter continues.
