Fees eliminated, reduced for marijuana users in Michigan
LANSING (AP) — The state of Michigan is lowering or eliminating fees assessed on people who register to use marijuana for medical reasons.
The Marijuana Regulatory Agency announced last week that new rules are in effect.
The application fee for a two-year registry card is now $40, down from $60. A $10 fee to update, replace or add or remove a caregiver has been eliminated.
Caregivers, who supply patients with marijuana, will no longer have to pay a $25 background check processing fee.
Marijuana Regulatory Agency Executive Director Andrew Brisbo says the state has worked hard to streamline the process for cardholders, not only lowering costs but making it easier for patients to apply for an receive their cards.
ICE?agent cleared in civil trial after fatal shooting
DETROIT (AP) — A U.S. customs agent has been cleared in a federal civil damages trial of wrongdoing following the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old man during a 2015 police raid in Detroit.
The U.S. Attorney’s office in Detroit said Mitchell Quinn’s jury trial ended Monday.
Quinn was a member of a fugitive apprehension team when Terrance Kellom was shot. Police have said Kellom was wanted for armed robbery and lunged at Quinn with a hammer. His father, Kevin Kellom, has disputed that account. Quinn wasn’t charged.
U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider said that “while the loss of life in this case was tragic, the evidence clearly established that agent Quinn acted in self-defense” and did not violate Kellom’s constitutional rights.
Woman arrested in theft of $63K from California fire victim
OROVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Northern California authorities have arrested a woman they say scammed $63,100 from a 75-year-old who lost a home in a wildfire last year that killed 85.
The Butte County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday the arrest of 29-year-old Brenda Rose Asbury for elder abuse, embezzlement and grand theft.
Detectives say Asbury stole from an insurance settlement that the victim received after losing a home in the 2018 Camp Fire.
Asbury turned herself on Monday after driving three days from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and on the advice of her attorney, Michael Erpino of Chico.
She was jailed to await arraignment.
Mangoes spilled from truck in Maryland make for traffic mess
BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — Mangoes spilling from an overturned tractor trailer caused a not-so-sweet morning commute on the Beltway in Maryland.
News outlets report the truck overturned early Wednesday on Interstate 495 in Bethesda. Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service spokesman Pete Piringer says one person suffered minor injuries.
It's unclear what caused the truck to roll onto its side. The Washington Post reports that traffic backed up for miles around 6 a.m. while two lanes of the highway were closed.
