In the market for an ‘Incredible Hulk’ vehicle?

Those in the market for an “Incredible Hulk”-themed car have the chance to bid on an animated Chevrolet Caprice seized in a prior drug bust by the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.

An online auction by the U.S. Marshals Service closes on Monday for the 1989 Chevrolet Caprice seized in March along with six other vehicles. The vehicle was seized and forfeited to the government as part of a drug case against Thomas E. King of Fort Wayne, Ind., who was arrested in early March while arriving to pick up a large shipment of drugs along Symmes Road in Fairfield, according to the sheriff’s office.

The auction can be accessed online at www.skipcoautoauction.com/Marshall-Auction/US-Marshal-Units.aspx.

Proceeds generated from the auction will be deposited into the U.S. Department of Justice’s Assets Forfeiture Fund — used to compensate victims, supplement law enforcement programs and support community programs.

In total, the sheriff’s office had seized from King more than 500 pounds of marijuana, a loaded Kel-Tec semi-automatic rifle, a Freightliner semi-trailer, a Lexus, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, a GMC Denali, a Dodge Ram, a Chrysler Aspen, and most notably the “green machine” Chevrolet Caprice painted and detailed with an “Incredible Hulk” theme.
