| Description: |
James Holland was arrested during a September 2005 raid of his medical marijuana dispensary -- the Free and Easy Cooperative in Bakersfield, California. The bust involved a wide assortment of local and federal agencies, including the Kern County Sheriff's Department, the Bakersfield Police department, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. In addition to the federal charges related to his dispensary, Holland also faced counts stemming from the illegal possession of firearms that were found during the raid. Held in Fresno County Jail during the course of his prosecution, Holland eventually decided to accept a plea deal that offered him a nine-year prison sentence. Although his patients described him as a friendly, affable man, only two supporters were present for Holland's sentencing on February 12th, 2007. Holland is currently incarcerated in Herlong, CA.
