CHICO — Chico council members, the police chief and other city staff could face federal prosecution by facilitating dispensaries with the city's medical marijuana ordinance.

The U.S. Attorney's Office wants to deter the city from allowing dispensaries that violate federal drug laws, said Dave Burkland, Chico city manager.

U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner for the Eastern District of California met with Burkland, Police Chief Mike Maloney and City Attorney Lori Barker July 14 in Sacramento.
