Prosecutors filed more than 40 felony charges against Shangri La Care Cooperative board president and co-founder Jeffrey Kroll in 2016after a series of raids, months before California voters legalized recreational marijuana. Allegations ranged from the illegal sale or transportation of marijuana and manufacturing concentrated cannabis to money laundering and not filing income tax returns.
All charges were ultimately dismissed. None of Kroll’s or Shangri La’s seized property has been returned, according to a motion filed in Ventura County Superior Court in May.
The document filed by Kroll asks Ventura County Superior Court Judge Bruce Young to compel the Sheriff’s Office to give back everything. The items include hard drives, four guns, a long list of cannabis products, a digital scale, records related to a now inactive nonprofit linked to the Ventura County Humane Society and even a hot plate Kroll said was seized.
