DRYDEN MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARY EMPLOYEES TO PROTEST AT LAPEER
COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE WITH OTHER ADVOCATES
LAPEER COUNTY, Michigan - Employees of Dryden's Compassionate Care
Center of Michigan plan to head to the Lapeer County Sheriff's Office
at about noon today to protest the recent raids of medical marijuana
dispenaries.
Randy Crowel, who operates the center, said buses of medical marijuana
advocates will be arriving at the department around noon, then will
travel to Oakland County Sheriff's Office to protest there.
The dispensary was originally raided Aug. 31 because police believe
the center is not following state law and dispensing too much marijuana.
Lapeer County Sheriff's Lt. Gary Parks said about 100 people visit the
dispensary daily.
The center was raided twice more last week, along with a location in
Metamora.
Marijuana plants, records and other items were confiscated.
No one was arrested and Parks said he plans to forward the
investigation to the prosecutor's office this week.
Crowel said his home was also searched by police last week.
