Federal Agents Raid Marijuana Dispensary

It is the fourth dispensary in a week to be raided and closed down under the so-called "landlord law"

For the fourth time in one week, a San Diego marijuana dispensary was raided and closed down under the so-called "landlord law."

Law enforcement officers entered the Green Tree Solutions Pot Dispensary on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday,

The law prohibits landlords from renting space to medicinal marijuana dispensaries. The U.S. Attorney's Office gave landlords a 45-day warning to close down the dispensaries or face prosecution and have their property seized.

Special Agent Amy Roderick said more raids would be coming in the following weeks.

"We will eventually close every single one down in San Diego County," she told NBC San Diego.

One man was arrested outside the dispensary during today's raid but San Diego Police Department said it was for carrying a concealed weapon.

It's unclear if he had any connection to the dispensary.

Green Tree Solutions was closed at the time of the raid, but agents say it was operating earlier in the day.
