Trial Set For Pot Shop Workers

Sonora, CA — Four workers of Foothill Care Collective on Mono Way are scheduled for a Jury Trial in January.

Jason Brisco, James Brisco, Renee Lyn Rivera and Rhett Schuller appeared in Department One of Tuolumne County Superior Court on Monday afternoon. A Trial Readiness Conference was scheduled for December 19 in Department One, and the Jury Trial is set for January 4th at the same location.

The group was arrested last May when their medicinal marijuana collective was raided by law enforcement. Officials argue that the suspects were selling marijuana for profit, rather than collectively cultivating it for medicinal purposes.

Also, the next court date for the four workers of Today’s Health Collective, which was raided the same day, is set for October 12 in Department One Tuolumne County Superior Court. The suspects are Sara Herrin, Nancy Smith, Jana Evans and Danny Herrin.
