7Ten Club and Farmers Market has been RAIDED

UPDATED 5/14/15 @ 3PM

The Glendale SWAT Team served a warrant on the 7Ten Club and Farmers Market on 51st Avenue and Camelback Road at about 9pm on 05/13/2015.

We've been told that 9 people, including the owners Scott Westlake, Gregg Levendoski, and Joe Flores, have all been arrested and booked into the MCSO 4th Avenue Jail on multiple Felony counts, including Illegal Control of an Enterprise (a Class 3 Felony)

(Their Mugshots have not been posted online yet for confirmation.)

We've also been told that 6 of the Marijuana Vendors were arrested and have been charged with Possession of Marijuana For Sale (a Class 4 Felony) and Possession of Narcotics For Sale (a Class 2 Felony)

Numerous Vendors who were in possession of more than 2 and 1/2 Ounces of Marijuana had their marijuana confiscated by Police, though they were not arrested at the scene. Charges may be filed at a later time.

A campaign has been started by the Hempful Farms Cafe in Phoenix to raise money to help the 7Ten Club with it's legal battles. However, it's very unlikely that they'll be able to fight the charges to stay open for business.

We've already seen the DRAFT decision from the Arizona Court of Appeals surrounding the issue of whether Patient-to-Patient sales of Medical Marijuana are legal or illegal. Their decision has not been released to the public yet, but we can tell you prior to it's release that the Court of Appeals' opinion is that Patient-to-Patient sales of Medical Marijuana are ILLEGAL.

Presumably, both the Arizona Attorney General and the Maricopa County Attorney have also seen this DRAFT Decision from the Arizona Court of Appeals.

We anticipate that the Court's most recent Decision about Patient-to-Patient sales has given the County Attorney's Office the confidence to move forward with arresting patients and aggressively prosecuting any cases involving Patient-to-Patient sales. (Especially the Farmers Markets and Compassion Clubs)

We'll post more information as we receive it.

Lax, they are coming for you...

`So are you a dispensary guy or what?

Isn't an appeals court "draft decision" somewhat meaningless as it is only
issued by one judge out of the panel hearing the case and that is before any oral arguments are even made. In fact it is up to the person appealing as to whether they even want a draft issued before arguments is it not? At least that is my understanding.

Or are you talking about the issuance of a short and brief decision order that follows a rule 29
accelerated appeals process?

I would be surprised if law enforcement changed policy because of a pre oral argument draft decision, and I didn't think this case was an accelerated appeals case.
Could it be possible the failed Baker motion a few days ago in the Maricopa county superior court
set some precedent in the valley even though the verdict is still pending?

Can you please fill us in some more?

crazy...sounds like only way to stop this is to do away with dispensaries and everyone grow there own....J/s
