SAN DIEGO – Recent countywide efforts to crack down on illegal marijuana dispensaries have resulted in nearly all such illicit operations being shut down in East County, officials said Thursday.
San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan said that since 2019, enforcement efforts have resulted in the prosecution of 70 people. So far, 19 have pleaded guilty to felony offenses such as operating drug buildings and possession of narcotics and firearms, while 13 others have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors for aiding and abetting the illegal operations.
Officials said the continued operations of the Marijuana Enforcement Team was supported by a proposal brought forward by County Supervisor Joel Anderson — whose district encompasses a large portion of East County — to bolster enforcement against illegal marijuana shops in unincorporated areas.
