The City Attorney's office closed down dispensary Market Greens in Mt. Hope
Prosecutors revealed Tuesday that more than marijuana was found at a dispensary operating illegally in Southern California.
The investigation into Market Greens at 4255 Market Avenue in Mt. Hope started when undercover San Diego police officers bought cocaine from dealers at the dispensary, according to SDPD Chief Shelley Zimmerman.
The buy gave investigators enough evidence to obtain a search warrant, which they served to the business on Oct. 14. Officers immediately zoned in on a locked door where the product was kept.
When an employee refused to let them in, they forced entry, only to be confronted by an armed man inside. The man reached for his gun in his waistband but soon stood down when police identified themselves, Zimmerman said.
