September 29, 2010 - DEA and San Diego Sheriffs conduct SWAT-style raids at the home of Donald Lee Hunt Jr. and Donald Lee Hunt Sr., charging them federally with conspiracy to grow over 100 marijuana plants. Hunt Jr. had articles of incorporation and patient records for a medical marijuana cultivating collective, which did not dispense. After 23 plants for his own use and one ounce of dried marijuana were found at his residence, Hunt Sr. was also charged. The elder Hunt developed painful plantar fasciitis in his heel while working as a bellman for the Hyatt Regency for 27 years; he also suffers from glaucoma. Facing prison sentences of 5 years or more, the Hunts pled guilty to lesser charges. They have now been released from prison. Information provided by www.calnorml.org. |
