Marijuana bust on West Slope ends with 6 arrests
By Cathy Locke, Sacramento Bee
An investigation into marijuana sales in El Dorado County has resulted in six arrests, as well as seizure of approximately 60 pounds of processed marijuana and $80,000 in currency.
A three-month investigation by El Dorado County sheriff’s detectives regarding a conspiracy to sell marijuana culminated Thursday with the service of five search warrants.
The investigation centered around the sale of marijuana through two businesses. River City Wellness, also known as Right Choice Wellness, in Cameron Park and C4C in Shingle Springs were operated by 45-year-old David Sisson of El Dorado, his wife, 44-year-old Stacy Sisson, also of El Dorado, and David Sisson’s brother, 34-year-old Robert Sisson of Shingle Springs, authorities said.
David Sisson was booked into El Dorado County Jail on suspicion of conspiracy to sell marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Robert Sisson was booked on suspicion of conspiracy to sell marijuana and possession of marijuana for sale, and Stacy Sisson was booked on suspicion of conspiracy to possess marijuana for sale.
Employee Mathew Wollman, 29, of Sacramento was arrested and booked on suspicion of possessing a concealed firearm in a vehicle, and another employee, Austin Lange, 26, of Cameron Parked was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to sell marijuana.
While detectives were serving a search warrant at one of the businesses, James Dungan, 50, of Santa Cruz arrived allegedly intending to sell processed marijuana to the business. Detectives arrested him on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale.
Sheriff’s officials said search warrants were served at each business and at the business operator’s home. The other two search warrants were for bank accounts. In addition to the processed marijuana and currency, detectives seized nine firearms and authorities said more seizures are expected.
I guess they are charged with conspiracy to possess marijuana for sale. Because the conspiracy charge carries more time?
Not impressed, war on drugs is the biggest scourge on american society. They have fixed nothing. They have helped no one. Unless you count the Corporate Prison system.
These are Good People!They are Always putting Money into the local buisnesses of the community!The Nicest People you will Ever Know!!There are WAY Worse people out there who the Sheriffs need to get!UnBelieveble!
These are good people that do not deserve this. Very compassionate towards the community. They have even won one of El Dorado county’s best business awards! I have met great people through these wellness centers including other patients, employees and the Sissons These are not hardened criminals but people who saw a need in a community and filled it.
