A high-ranking member of a motorcycle gang is accused of plotting to kill an Indiana judge after an effort to obstruct a domestic abuse trial failed, authorities alleged in court documents obtained Friday.

A probable cause affidavit alleges that Thomas Moss, 43, conspired with others to kill Tippecanoe County Superior Court Judge Steven Meyer and his wife on Jan. 18, two days before the trial was scheduled to begin.

Meyer and his wife were shot through the closed front door of their home in Lafayette, northwest of Indianapolis, according to the affidavit. Both were injured and released from the hospital.
