SISKIYOU COUNTY, Calif. – The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man for transporting over 428 pounds of illegal marijuana from the Macdoel area to Santa Cruz.
Authorities say the suspect, identified as 50-year-old Robert Levin, claimed he was working for a licensed marijuana business.
Levin told law enforcement he bought marijuana shake from a cultivation site near Macdoel for Pacific Coast Extract’s butane honey oil products.
This company has an active license with the California Department of Cannabis Control.
Levin was also found in possession of $20,000, which he claimed belonged to Pacific Coast Extracts. The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office says the Levin offered the money to deputies in exchange for his release.
Authorities arrested Levin and booked him into the Siskiyou County Jail. Charges include attempting to bribe a peace officer and transporting and possessing marijuana for sales.
According to the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office, illegal marijuana in the area is often produced with toxic, unapproved Chinese-labeled pesticides. These products are sold to consumers through licensed dispensaries.
The Sheriff’s Office warns that the legal cannabis market is still affected by the black market, and action by the State of California is lacking.
