TULSA, Okla. (AP) A federal indictment in Tulsa charges 18 members of a white
supremacist prison gang with racketeering, drug conspiracy and kidnapping that
resulted in at least six homicides since 2005.

The indictment unsealed Wednesday says the 18 are members of the Universal
Aryan Brotherhood, described as a violent “whites only” gang based primarily in
Oklahoma prisons.

The indictment alleges the gang members and 36 unindicted co-conspirators
trafficked methamphetamine and marijuana, assaulted and kidnapped people to
intimidate them, and killed rivals and at least one carjacking victim.

Defendants Randy Seaton, Richard Young, Michael Clinton and Brandy Simmons
were arraigned Wednesday and each pleaded not guilty.

The indictment does not indicate if the charges are related to drug charges
filed last week against alleged members of a white supremacist gang in Arkansas.
