LOS ANGELES—The owner of a Los Angeles medical marijuana dispensary has been charged with money laundering and illegal pot sales stemming from his arrest last week.
Jeffrey Joseph faces 24 counts in a criminal complaint filed Monday. Bail had initially been set at $350,000. It wasn't immediately known if he had retained an attorney. He was expected to appear in court Monday.
Joseph ran Organica, a pot clinic that has been targeted by repeated police investigations. Authorities say people associated with Organica passed out flyers advertising the dispensary near a high school last year and some students apparently purchased from the outlet.
While pot remains illegal under federal law, California allows pot for medicinal use.
The city attorney's office filed a lawsuit against Organica last week.
