Ralph W. Partridge, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Los Angeles Field Division announced the service of 11 Federal search warrants at marijuana distribution centers located throughout Los Angeles County. As a result of today’s warrants, agents seized several thousand pounds of processed marijuana, marijuana plants, large quantities of marijuana laced edibles, numerous weapons and a significant amount of U.S. Currency. Warrants were served at five locations in West Hollywood, four locations in the San Fernando Valley, as well as locations in Hollywood and Venice.

Ralph W. Partridge, DEA Acting Special Agent in Charge, stated “Today’s enforcement operations show that these establishments are nothing more than drug trafficking organizations bringing criminal activities to our neighborhoods and drugs near our children and schools.”

This is an on-going DEA investigation and leads are being actively pursued and developed. All search warrants related to today’s enforcement remain under court seal . Further information will be disseminated to press outlets when available for release. Please forward any questions to DEA Los Angeles Public Information Officer SA Sarah Pullen

	Did You Know?
	There are 3 basic types with standard of proof There are essentially three standards of proof applicable in most court proceedings. In criminal and delinquency cases, the offense must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the highest standard. In civil cases and neglect and dependency proceedings, the lowest standard applies by a mere preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not). In some civil cases, and in juvenile proceedings such a permanent termination of parental rights, an intermediate standard applies: proof by clear and convincing evidence.
