The dispensary, called the Central Coast Compassionate Caregivers, is at 780 Monterey Ave. near Morro Bay Boulevard. Officials said the search warrants were the culmination of a yearlong investigation, but the warrants were sealed, meaning no details of the investigation was released. Officials also searched the dispensary owner's residence in Arroyo Grande. The owner could be facing federal charges, officials said. No one was arrested Thursday afternoon, but some people associated with the dispensary had been detained. About five customers had stopped by the dispensary Thursday and were turned away by law enforcement. Sheriff's officials believed that once law enforcement agents left business would continue as usual. About a dozen law enforcement officials were at the site - half from the county sheriff's and half from DEA. - --- MAP posted-by: Elaine
