GAYLORD — Multiple law enforcement vehicles were seen at each medical marijuana dispensary in Gaylord Thursday night as officers executed search warrants at all nine facilities.
A 45-year-old Gaylord man and a 36-year-old Gaylord man were both arrested as a result of the raids, according to a Straits Area Narcotics Enforcement (SANE) press release, and more arrests are expected.
“It will be up to the prosecutor,” said Detective Lt. Ken Mills, SANE unit commander. “With all the violations and illegal activity there will be over 10. Well over 10.”

The searches were completed at all dispensaries in Otsego County, including one in Vanderbilt, as caregivers at the different dispensaries were believed to be selling to people who were not their registered patients under Michigan medical marijuana law, according to the report.

The 45-year-old man was arrested on charges relating to the illegal distribution, possession and manufacturing of marijuana and THC products, and possession of prescription drugs, the press release indicates. The 36-year-old was arrested on charges related to the illegal distribution and possession of marijuana and THC products, according to the release.

Law enforcement officials at Trophy Buds, 115 S. Wisconsin Ave., said they were executing search warrants at the different dispensaries. At Trophy Buds they were seen conducting a thorough search of the dispensary and collecting documents, marijuana and other items. One person was arrested.

With the exception of a trooper in uniform, the officials at Trophy Buds were in plainclothes wearing what appeared to be bullet-proof vests. Some of the vests had “CBP Federal Agent” and “Police HSI” printed on them.

At least five law enforcement officials were seen at Trophy Buds, with two undercover vehicles and a Michigan State Police patrol car. Two to three law enforcement vehicles were seen at each of the other eight dispensaries in Gaylord as well.

More than 150 jars and numerous bags of marijuana were seized by law enforcement officials, in addition to countless edibles in the form of chocolates, cookies, fudge and others. Marijuana infused drinks, waxes, extracts and oils were confiscated as well.

Reports also indicated 143 marijuana plants were found and seized, as well as prescription opiates, prescription drugs, more than $17,000 in cash and two vehicles. Officers also found a lab for manufacturing THC oil and three marijuana grow operations.

The investigations regarding these dispensaries remain ongoing.

SANE officials were assisted in the searches by the Gaylord City Police, Otsego County Sheriff's Department, Huron Undercover Narcotics Team, Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team, Traverse Narcotics Team, Strike Team Investigative Narcotics Group, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Cheboygan County Sheriff's Office, Emmet County Sheriff's Office and Michigan State Police troopers from the Gaylord Post, 7th District in Traverse City and 7th District Fugitive Team.

This is the second series of raids in less than a year, spearheaded by SANE on Otsego County medical marijuana dispensaries.

Eight dispensaries were searched May 27 and several items were confiscated including marijuana, cash, vehicles and other items. Several individuals were arrested and charged as a result.

A mounting resistance grew against these actions, leading to protests and a high amount of public interest in some of the court cases where the defendants attempted to fight the charges.

Alan Witt, an employee at Gaylord Provisions at the time of the raids and now a co-owner of Cloud 45, was found guilty Jan. 27 on one count of delivery of marijuana, not guilty on one count of maintaining or keeping a drug house, and the jury was hung on one count of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. Sentencing is scheduled for April 4.

The two arrested in the latest series of raids await arraignment.

Gaylord City Police

on what relation they named the city? can someone explain to me?

[jesusofCAnnabis]

Gaylord
Gaylord’s namesake comes from Augustine Smith Gaylord. It was established in 1872 and named Barnes, but it was changed a year later to honor Gaylord, who was an attorney for the Jackson, Lansing, Saginaw railroad. Still, if you were to ask someone why the name was changed just a year later to Gaylord, no one could tell you as the reason for doing so has been lost!

CBP Federal Agent is a border patrol agent and HSI Police is homeland security or ICE, Gaylord is not near our national border WTF

These people do what they want when they want.
If people only knew what these agencies are currently up to, then again you don't really want to know.
The witness was found dead.
Brittney Murphy involved. now she is dead.....Fishy! Then her husband dies 5 months later?

Those dispensaries are small potatoes compared to other goings on in gaylord. Much bigger fish than a couple little outlets.

The govm't told the dea not to interfere with state law. Guess hsi and cbp didn't get the memo. That sucks.

But I can say, the dispensaries in gaylord weren't the best about checking paperwork and cards. Saw the one on the ornery of Wisconsin and main st sell to two people without asking for cards. They didn't ask me either. If they want to have the freedom to sell, they need to do so within the law or they will just make it worse for the rest of us.

CBP and HSI unfortunately have jurisdiction within so many miles of the border, which the entire coastline of MI is considered. So if you are within those parameters you can fall subject to. It is the same way they were allowed to set up road blocks in the interior of some states.
