BAKERSFIELD MEDICAL POT STORE WORKERS SENTENCED
Fresno -- A federal judge has sentenced a Bakersfield medical
marijuana dispensary worker to 37 months in prison after he pleaded
guilty to conspiring to distribute marijuana.
Federal prosecutors said Monday that Jonathan Michael Chapman worked
at Nature's Medicinal Co-Op between 2005 and 2007. Federal agents
arrested the 32-year-old and seven other employees in a 2007 raid
that also netted nearly 190 pounds of pot.
A U.S. Department of Justice spokeswoman says dispensaries are often
targeted when they are not run as nonprofits as required under
California law. Prosecutors say Nature's Medicinal Co-Op logged $9.6
million in sales from January 2006 to September 2006.
