FEDS RAID LAKE TAHOE MARIJUANA DISPENSARY

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE -- Federal agents raided a medical marijuana 
dispensary in South Lake Tahoe on Thursday.

At about 11 a.m., five agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency 
- -- joined by members of the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, the South 
Lake Tahoe-El Dorado County Narcotics Enforcement Team and the South 
Lake Tahoe Police -- served a federal search warrant on Patient to 
Patient Collective, located at 2314 Lake Tahoe Boulevard.

Agents seized between five and 10 pounds of processed marijuana and a 
"small amount" of U.S. currency from the collective, said DEA Special 
Agent Gordon Taylor.

Police made no arrests on Thursday.

Taylor declined to comment on additional details of the raid, saying 
Patient to Patient Collective is part of an ongoing investigation.
