37:48Now PlayingTwo years ago, Michigan-based cannabis entrepreneur Cody Cecil’s camper van broke down in Milton, West Virginia. As he was awaiting repairs, Cecil was confronted by Milton police at his door. Despite appearing without a warrant, police demanded entry into the camper van. During the subsequent raid, police smashed Cecil’s window and confiscated eight hemp plants. Cecil now faces a 10-year sentence. Meanwhile, Cabell County, which Milton is located in, just announced a development deal with the billion-dollar cannabis company Trulieve, which is expected to build a grow facility in the planned HADCO Business Park, a new economic initiative being funded by millions in local taxpayer money. The Real News has previously investigated use of public founds in Milton, where coal baron Jeff Hoops scored a $15 million TIF (Tax Increment Financing) deal for the beleaguered Grand Patrician Hotel project. Police Accountability Report returns to the case of Cody Cecil and the questionable use of public funds in Cabell County.
