🇺🇸DEA, County of Mendocino Marijuana Eradication Team
On 1 February 2005 the Drug Enforcement Administration and the County of
Mendocino Marijuana Eradication Team served search warrants at 1291 Talmage
Road, known as the LAN-KASH Caregivers Clinic, and at a residence on Masonite
Road, ending a two-year investigation into marijuana trafficking by Steven L.
Berry.[1]The Talmage Road site held four indoor grow rooms and an office
where individuals could buy marijuana; officers seized 845 indoor plants there
plus sales ledgers.[1]From the two locations together they took about 149
pounds of processed marijuana, a loaded shotgun and records.[1]
The arrest
During the investigation undercover agents had bought $4,500 worth of cloned
marijuana plants from Berry and later arranged to buy two pounds of buds, but
that deal never happened because sheriff’s deputies arrested Berry for
domestic violence first.[1]Berry was arrested by eradication-team deputies
at the sheriff’s office and booked into the county jail on $25,000bail.[1]The DEA said traffickers were using Proposition 215 to justify trafficking
that had nothing to do with compassion.[1]
