US: Federal Agents Make Multiple Marijuana Raids In SF
NBC
Tuesday 03 Oct 2006 Federal drug enforcement agents Tuesday raided a medical cannabis dispensary in San Francisco's Mission District. The raid happened at Mission Caregivers, located at 1756 Mission St. Federal police and drug enforcement agents loaded into a van computers, printers and boxes labeled "MJ & Hash" at about 1 p.m. after raiding the dispensary. According to a federal agent who did not give his name, the raid was part of a "large-scale trafficking" operation and also part of an ongoing investigation. Kevin Reed, the owner of the now-defunct Green Cross medical marijuana dispensary and who was at the raid, said that several patients were lined up and taken away in handcuffs. "At least half of the dispensaries in San Francisco are closing down because of (this) raid," he said. The DEA said it performed multiple searches Tuesday. U.S. Attorney Kevin Ryan was at the raid. He said he needs to get out more and be on scene, which is why he appeared at one of Tuesday's raids. Four people were arrested and one person was detained during the raids, NBC11 reported. Members of the community protested on the streets during the Mission Street raid. At least 20 protestors and members of the community stood outside and chanted "DEA, go away!" and "Patients rights!" on the street outside Mission Caregivers, at 1756 Mission St. http://www.nbc11.com/news/9992594/detail.html
