CLIO (WJRT) – (04/25/16) – A Mid-Michigan marihuana dispensary is fighting the Genesee County Prosecutor’s office in court after FANG shut them down.

The owner of the Clio dispensary says warrants weren’t valid and he wants his business back open.

 

Attorneys from both sides were in Judge Hayman’s court Monday afternoon. The raid happened in January when the Genesee County Prosecutor’s office filed an emergency injunction to close down a facility called Clio Caregiver Connection.

 

A counter claim was filed against the Prosecutor’s Office, saying the county failed to meet legal requirements to participate with FANG.

 

The defense also argues that the recent dispensary raids and padlocking efforts by FANG were and are illegal.

 

“I don’t write the laws. I just enforce them. Dispensaries are not allowed. The word dispensary does not even appear in the medical marihuana act,” said Prosecuting Attorney David Leyton.

 

“There’s never been any complaints from anyone. He’s loved by all of the patients that’ve gone in there. They’re all unhappy that this was forced down. And it’s just an overreach by FANG,” said Clio Caregiver Connection Attorney Michael Komorn.

 

The case is in its early stages. Both sides will return to court to discuss it again on May 16.

 

*Marihuana is the correct spelling when referring to medical marihuana in the state of Michigan.
