FBI - wiretaps- 27 arrested in five county marijuana bust - Michigan

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- A joint task force has arrested 27 people and seized 500 marijuana plants following an investigation stretching across several counties in West Michigan.

Wednesday, police from multiple agencies executed search warrants at 28 different locations and consent searches at three more locations. It resulted in the arrest of 27 people and the seizure of marijuana and cash from drug sales.

Investigators say The Medical Marijuana Team (MMT) had operations in Rothbury, Grand Rapids, Walker, Traverse City and a half dozen other locations in five counties, but primarily they worked out of Muskegon.

According to court documents, Shawn Taylor was the leader of the Medical Marijuana Team. During a year-long investigation, drug enforcement agents say more than two dozen defendents secured medical marijuana cards from so called "weed doctors." But the patients far exceeded the limits for production and posession outlined in the law for patients and care providers.

Instead of patients dealing with pain and suffering, court dcouments say the co-conspirators harvested the marijuna from their various grow locations and quickly sold it for $2,500 to $2,800 per pound. Investigators say the earned hundreds of thousands of dollars and bought houses, land, and other items to launder the money.

Detectives used secret surveillance, wire taps, and informants to collect evidence on the group. The defendants represent many West Michigan communities and all are charged with conspiracy to manufacture and deliver marijuana.





















All of the 27 suspects were transported Wednesday to Kent County Jail. They were charged Thursday in Grand Rapids Federal Court on drug charges. The suspects include:

    Kimberly Monique Adema
    Calvin Joseph Brown
    Merribeth Devries
    Kevin Lee Downey
    Curtis Daniel Fairchild
    Benjamin Allen Fialek
    Erin Nicole Forestier
    Cody Andrew Fyre
    Brandon Edward Goerbig
    Casie Lynne Hanis
    Nathan Edward Hanis
    Douglas Lee Harjer
    Debora Kay Housley
    James Stanley Housley
    Robert James Housley
    Vanessa Kay Housley
    Braden Daniel Kasper
    Lori Lynn Larabel
    William Ernest May
    Dalton James Miller
    James Lee Moore
    Nicholas Patrick Perri
    David James Searer
    Molly Ann Taylor
    Shawn Andrew Taylor
    Leslie Ann Wimmer
    Robert Dorr White

The operation was a collaboration which included over 160 officers from the Kent County Sheriff Department, West Michigan
Enforcement Team, East Grand Rapids Public Safety Department, Grandville Police, Grand Rapids Police, Grand Haven Public Safety Department, Kalamazoo Public Safety Department, Oceana County Sheriff Department, Muskegon Police, Muskegon County Sheriff Department and Walker Police.

I'd like to see what kind of illegal "secret surveillance" they used. Bunch of shady underhanded cock-knockers. And shame on those who ratted. When it comes to holding other peoples' lives/ livelihoods in your hands vs. screwing them over and getting them locked up and possibly ripping their family apart, you not only have the right to remain silent, but you have the obligation to remain silent. I don't care how much time is on the table. If there's not solid evidence without your testimony, DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM! What will you get? Failure to cooperate? Stand mute!
If you're not expecting some degree of risk when you go into it, then don't go into it. But if you understand the risk and decide to do it anyway because you believe in the cause, then don't pussy out halfway through, go the whole nine! If it means a year and some probation, do it! It just provides more ammunition for people fighting for legalization to use against the prohibitionists.

Michigan is one of the worst police states.  I spent last summer in Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids.  The Grand Rapids area is the worst.  Police are crawling everywhere.  Never in my life have I seen so many fucking cops on a 10 minute ride to the grocery store down quiet streets.

I wonder what the searches labeled as "consent searches" in the article refer to.  Could it quite possibly mean cops and SWAT team members wielding guns and demanding you open your doors and when you do open your doors they say it is consent to search and barge right in?

I've smoked headies in Michigan years ago.  All sorts of rich kids toking up the good stuff.  Lot's of detroit shit goes on too.  I'd rather smoke a rich kids headies then some detroit chemical grown for crack bud.
