A copy of the Oklevueha EarthWalks Native American Church's complaint was also sent to the Utah County Commission, Hamblin said, "in a gesture to help them clean their house."
Prior to facing federal charges, the Mooneys survived prosecution by the Utah County Attorney's Office when the state charges were dismissed in 2004 by the Utah Supreme Court.
The U.S. Attorney's Office agreed to drop the federal indictment in February. As part of the deal, the Mooneys agreed to never again possess, buy, use or distribute peyote "until they become members of a federally recognized tribe or there is a definitive clarification of the law regarding the use of peyote by court ruling or legislative action."
