DEA agents served federal search warrants on the Green Heart medical marijuana collectives in Anderson and Mount Shasta on the morning of 12 September 2012.[1][2] Special Agent Casey Rettig confirmed the warrants but said the warrant documents were sealed in federal court and she could provide no case number or further information.[1][2] Owner Gina Munday learned of the Anderson raid from her alarm company and said officers kicked in the door, broke windows and took all of the medicine; the Mount Shasta manager, Darrick Snipes, said agents kicked in that door before 10 a.m. and took everything.[1] The Anderson police would say nothing, and no one was arrested at either shop.[1][2]
The Anderson shop had been fighting the city, which banned dispensaries through its zoning code, won a January order temporarily shutting the store, and faced a jury trial that December after losing its appeal.[1] Both shops planned to restock and reopen.[1] The sealed paperwork fit a wider pattern in which the agency raided dispensaries without arrests or press releases, leaving it unclear how often the raids happened.[2]
