The fight escalates in Don Nord's medical marijuana case:
A judge has issued contempt citations to nine police officers involved in a drug raid that has led to a clash in state and federal laws over the use of marijuana by the sick.
The citations, issued Wednesday, accuse the officers of failing to return 2 ounces of marijuana seized from Don Nord, 57, last October.
[...]
Officials with the Drug Enforcement Agency have said they have no intention of returning the marijuana, which is illegal for any use under federal law.
The officers, who served on a federal task force that conducted the raid, must appear before Routt County Judge James Garrecht on Feb. 2 to explain why they should not be punished for contempt.
Much more to come, I'm sure. Read previous episodes of this story here, and here.
