Marijuana clinic in Ann Arbor robbed at gunpoint

[Cal Carpenter]

As three men were robbing a medical marijuana clinic in downtown Ann Arbor, binding the people inside with duct tape, two police officers rushed in and confronted them, Police Chief Barnett Jones said.

The men — two armed with guns — stole cash and marijuana during the Thursday evening robbery and refused to go down without a fight, Jones said.

In the end, six officers responded, taking all three suspects into custody before they left the building, police said.

"The officers did great work," Jones said. "They had to fight with suspects they knew were armed. They were able to control them, detain them and unarm them without any shots being fired."

"One of the victims had her whole head and face taped, which included her hair," Jones said.

Liberty Clinic opened in February and is being run as a non-profit caregiver collective network, which enrolls both registered patients and caregivers as members. As of June, the clinic had 1,200 members and more than 100 caregivers. In August, the City Council approved a four-month moratorium on new medical marijuana dispensaries to come up with zoning regulations for them.
