Sheriff’s office officials from El Paso and Pueblo counties seized cash from multiple locations of a Colorado Springs dispensary Monday after a civil process order ruling by an El Paso County judge.
According to El Paso County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Kurt Smith, deputies assisted in the civil process order at three locations of Maggie’s Farm dispensary in Colorado Springs and Pueblo, seizing cash from all stores.
Smith said the cash seizure is part of a civil case involving Maggie’s Farm — not an investigation by either the Sheriff’s Office in Pueblo or El Paso County.
“With civil rulings, sometimes we have to help,” Smith said.
Tim Cheasebro, a locksmith with Mason’s Mobile Locksmith in Colorado Springs, told The Gazette he along with his boss and another co-worker assisted in the cash seizure Monday morning. While his two co-workers were assigned to the Maggie’s Farm locations in the Colorado Springs area, Cheasebro worked for over an hour and a half at the dispensary’s location in Pueblo.
Cheasebro said his company has assisted the Sheriff’s Office in the past, but that he hadn’t been relayed any details from officials of what they were looking for
