SHAWNEE, OKLA. (KOKH) — Two men were indicted by a multi-county grand jury for a marijuana burglary that happened in Pottawatomie County.
Zion Isaiah Edwards, 21, and Emmanuel Leon Turner, 19, face multiple counts for breaking into the CannaBrother Farm medical marijuana grow facility in Shawnee last September and stealing packages of processed marijuana.
