The Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Enforcement Division announced the arrests in connection to the possible diversion of medical cannabis.
Eight individuals who were previously employed at cannabis multistate operator Greenlight Dispensary’s retail location in Helena, Ark., were arrested in connection to a state investigation into the possible diversion of medical cannabis.
The Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Enforcement Division (ABC Enforcement) announced Oct. 7 that the arrests came after the division performed a “lengthy” investigation, according to the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA). The state’s DFA oversees the ABC and the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission.
After the investigation, ABC Enforcement officials determined that “employees of the dispensary used patient allotments for persons who were elderly, deceased, out of area or incarcerated to create fraudulent transactions and illegally obtain medical marijuana,” according to the DFA.
Phillips County Sheriff Neal Byrd’s office assisted in the investigation in the eastern part of the state.
Specifically, the Greenlight Dispensary in Helena is located within 3 miles of the Mississippi border. The company operates three medical cannabis retail facilities in Arkansas, with the other two locations in Little Rock and West Memphis.
“This matter came to our attention in January of this year, and we immediately terminated the employees involved and began working with the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Enforcement Division, the Arkansas Marijuana Medical Commission and local law enforcement on this investigation,” Greenlight CEO John Mueller told Cannabis Business Times. “Greenlight’s primary focus is protecting patients and their access to legal cannabis as well as supporting a fully regulated market.”
The Arkansas enforcement officials concluded from the investigation that the former Greenlight Dispensary employees allowed individuals who did not have medical cannabis patient cards to access the retail facility and purchase medical cannabis products using other people’s patient allotments, according to the DFA.
