OKEMOS — Federal officials raided a warehouse allegedly used to grow medical marijuana.

 

Ryan Basore said law enforcement officials raided a 3,000-square-foot facility at 2360 Jolly Oak Road that he leased to registered caregivers to use for growing medical marijuana.

 

Basore co-owns Capital City Caregivers, a medical marijuana shop at 2208 E. Michigan Ave. in Lansing.

 

Basore said there were 40 plants in the building, and all were taken. He said other growing facilities near Jolly and Hagadorn roads also were raided, but he did not provide further details.

 

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration executed a search warrant at 2360 Jolly Oak Road on Tuesday night, said Special Agent Rich Isaacson, public information officer for the DEA’s Detroit field division.

 

Isaacson would not comment further, citing an ongoing investigation.

 

The DEA was assisted by the Tri-County Metro Narcotics Team, a multiagency drug enforcement squad in Eaton, Ingham and Clinton counties.

 

Lt. B.J. Roach would not comment on behalf of the narcotics team.

 

Basore said no one has been charged in the case.

40 plants only...

i have a feeling leo may have been dissapointed..

not cool

I think the feds were saying it had something to do with illegal trafficking and that they would not raid any legal MMMP patients following the rules.

[Daddy Nothing]

I love that News 10 uses this opportunity to blast the 'grey' areas in the law. As far as I can tell none of the 'grey' areas currently being debated had anything to do with this story. In a twisted sort of way I kind of hope there was illegal trafficking or something going on with this facility. But really...only 40 plants. Does anyone know if any charges have been filed?

[BlueMoonCaregiving]

Remember everyone no charges have been filed everyone just stay within your legal boundries and we will all be ok.

 

The local police helping out is against the law and that department should be fined and tried. And the DEA are just making sure everything is going by the michigan law. Maybe because of this flounder the judge might not so easily sign a warrant next time.

Lt. B J ROACH? Come on now was that his real name? What does BJ stand for? Federal agent probably stands for blow j__! Or maybe Big Joynt Roach. Big Jerk? What a total waste of our tax dollars.
