A 57-year-old Lacey, Washington woman named Cedrida Green, along with her adult son and daughter, have been charged following a police raid that uncovered drugs, guns, and over $26,000 in cash. Authorities allege Green was purchasing marijuana and other substances in bulk from local cannabis shops and then reselling them at marked-up prices to children as young as 13 from nearby middle and high schools.

Why it matters

This case highlights the ongoing challenges communities face in preventing the exploitation of minors and the illegal distribution of controlled substances, especially in areas near schools. It also raises questions about the oversight and security measures in place at licensed cannabis retailers to prevent bulk purchases intended for resale to underage customers.

The details

During the police raid, authorities seized cocaine, marijuana, mushrooms, and vape products from Green's home. Investigation records indicate that more than 150 children, some as young as 13, were documented visiting the residence on an average school day. Many of these children were students from nearby Komachin Middle School and Timberline High School. Green, along with her 21-year-old son Jacob and 20-year-old daughter Jade, have all pleaded not guilty to various drug and gun charges related to the alleged operation.
