MAN GETS PROBATION IN MEDICAL MARIJUANA CASE

A man criminally charged in connection with raids on medical
marijuana businesses was sentenced Thursday to a year of probation.

Matthew John-Drinnon Miller of Waterford Township was also ordered to
complete 30 days of community service.

Miller and a number of other people were charged as part of the Aug.
25, 2010 raids on Everybody's Cafe and Herbal Remedies in Waterford
Township. Miller worked at Herbal Remedies.

Court records show Miller pleaded no contest to a charge of
delivery/manufacture marijuana.

Miller said during his sentencing hearing in front of Oakland Circuit
Judge Phyllis McMillen that he thought at the time he was in
compliance with the law.

William and Candace Teichman operated Everybody's Cafe and Herbal
Remedies. They were each sentenced in October to one year of
probation after pleading guilty to various drug charges.

Their cases became part of a public dispute involving interpretations
of the state's medical marijuana law.
