Michigan Cannabis Entrepreneur Faces 10-Year Sentence for Growing Hemp

Unfair Treatment by Law Enforcement

Two years ago, Coty Cecil's camper van broke down in West Virginia, leading to a confrontation with police who raided his vehicle without a warrant, smashed his window, and confiscated eight hemp plants. Now facing a 10-year sentence, Cecil's case raises questions about justice.

Disparities in Justice System

While Cecil faces harsh penalties for growing plants in his camper, billion-dollar cannabis company Trulieve benefits from taxpayer-funded subsidies in the same area where he was arrested. The case highlights disparities in how the justice system treats individuals based on wealth and connections.

Seeking Support and Accountability

Thanks to previous reporting and viewer support, Cecil was able to secure a reduced bail and return home. He continues to fight against the looming 10-year prison sentence and discusses his case on Police Accountability Report, shedding light on the use of public funds in Milton.
