Tempe Police Make Arrests At Illegal Marijuana Dispensary

Police in Tempe have made three arrests in connection with what they say is an illegal marijuana dispensary.

Sergeant Mike Pooley says they got a number of calls about a suspicious odor coming from the Delta 9 Dispensary, which he says was operating illegally.

“There saying that they’re giving marijuana in exchange of a donation, however that donation is set at a certain price for each piece of marijuana product,” Pooley said.

He says officers found a large quantity of pot being sold in what was supposed to be a compassion club. He says all three of those arrested have been charged with possession of marijuana for sale, which is a felony, and he says more charges may be coming.
