O’Donovan attempted to bribe the Medford chief of police to obtain approval for a client to sell recreational marijuana
O’Donovan wanted a cut of the store’s profits that could hit $100,000 to $200,000 a year once the pot shop was operational
O’Donovan “sought to have the [police] Chief favorably rank his client’s application and … pressured the mayor to select the client to open a retail marijuana store in Medford.”
Without evidence of weed sales or gun use needed, the prosecution framed the matter as a question of whether there were copious amounts of cannabis and guns in the house.
Hull police targeted a couple for cannabis. Now the feds are pushing for a serious sentence.
