The daughter of a slain local leader of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club and three local men were arrested Monday on drug and weapons charges after authorities found firearms, explosives and illegal drugs in their homes.
Elizabeth Diane Sluder, 25, of 4615 Circle Drive in Winston-Salem was charged with possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a weapon of mass destruction, the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
Her father, Dwight Sluder, 48, was found dead in his house in northern Forsyth County on July 15. He died of a gunshot to the head.
Maj. Brad Stanley, a spokesman for the sheriff's office, said that the arrests of Elizabeth Sluder and the three men were not related to Dwight Sluder's death.
"That case is still open, and it is unsolved," Stanley said. "There are leads that we are following."
No arrests in Sluder's death have been made.
