INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE SEIZES SACKETT'S NIGHTCLUB

Sackett's, a Radford night spot popular with students and locals, has been seized by the Internal Revenue Service for failure to pay federal taxes.

Joy Sligh, an IRS spokeswoman in Richmond, said the seizure occurred Monday after a lien filed Jan. 12 for $16,758.22 was not satisfied.

That amount covers the first and second quarters of 1992, she said.

The contents of the building that belong to Sackett's will be sold to satisfy the lien, Sligh said.

She was unsure what would happen with the business itself and the building because it must be determined whether Sackett's owns the building or someone else.

Another lien, filed last June for $15,638, was satisfied earlier this year, Sligh said.

That lien had covered the third and fourth quarters of 1991 and was imposed for failure to pay withholding tax for employees, Sligh said. The lien also was imposed because Sackett's failed to pay federal unemployment tax for the calendar year, she said.
