State Seizure of Farm Probed in Maryland Drug Case
A long, opinionated piece questions why the proceeds from the Wolfsville area farm seizure go to Maryland’s general fund rather than staying to fight local drugs. It notes Michael Hotz admitted growing marijuana, was given a five year term with most time suspended, and a buyer paid 172000 for the 87 acre property. The author urges local control of seized assets to fund county drug programs and criticizes state redistribution.
