The relationship between police and cannabis outlets has changed. Alameda County law enforcement is pursuing the people who victimized a dispensary and not the dispensary operators.
The Sheriff's office arrested Joseph McWoodson on robbery and murder charges for being involved in an armed robbery of a Natural Source dispensary on Aug. 19, 2005.
On that date, a store employee shot one of the robbers, Dimarco Lowery, who later died. The employees also captured Jarrell McKneely, one of the alleged robbers.
Although the other robbers did not shoot their partner in crime, investigators say they were committing a crime that eventually led to Lowery's death.
Since they were acting to defend themselves, the dispensary staff were cleared of any charges.
The investigation is continuing to find the others involved, as many as three other people. The police ask anyone with information to call Sgt. Scott Dudek, 510-667-7478, or Det. Michael Godlewski at 510-667-3655.
