OKEMOS MEDICAL MARIJUANA FACILITY RAIDED

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.
