"Richard "Stitch" Daniels, 52, was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and manufacturing butane hash oil."

The criminal complaint filed in US District Court accuses Daniels of being involved in what it refers to as a "drug trafficking organization" operating "under the cover of, but in violation of, Maine's Medical Marijuana program," distributing to people who were not participants, including people from out-of-state.

The US attorney's office says 20 search warrants were executed in the Lewiston-Auburn area on Tuesday, and agents seized 50 kg of marijuana, six mason jars partially filled with butane hash oil and a kilogram of shatter at Daniels' properties.

According to the prosecutor, 10 different law enforcement agencies are involved in the investigation: the federal DEA; IRS' Criminal Investigations unit; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the FBI; Maine State Police; and the police departments of Lewiston, Auburn, Windham, Biddeford and Scarborough.

There are only a handful of commercial medical operations in ME. Makes them easy to watch. Its only 1 per county.
