Vallejo pot shop owners cleared of drug charges

Sacramento Bee
A California judge has thrown out drug charges against the former operators of a medical marijuana dispensary in Vallejo. The Times-Herald of Vallejo reports that visiting Superior Court Judge William Harrison ruled Thursday that Solano County prosecutors did not have enough evidence to show that the pot shop owners had violated state law. Vallejo police raided the Better Health Group dispensary three times this year before charging Jorge Espinoza and Jonathan Linares with possessing and selling marijuana. The men closed it in June.
