Legal Grow Raid Turns Sour | Phoenix News

A massive marijuana raid touted by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office as one of the biggest busts in a decade may have been a legal disaster.

Despite no charges filed against officers, May, now representing himself, seeks damages and to clear his name after his legally grown cannabis was publicly branded as illegal.
