The owners of the sole storefront-style medical marijuana operation in unincorporated Tehama County have agreed give up their lease or convert the property to something non-marijuana related.
Mike and Dawn Jenkins signed a document in Tehama County Superior Court agreeing not to maintain the facility or any other fixed location where medical marijuana is regularly distributed while such operations are banned by the county.
The agreement, signed by the Jenkinses, District Attorney Gregg Cohen and a judge, asks the Jenkinses to keep the doors locked at their Antelope Boulevard location, terminate any advertising and put up the equivalent of closed signs on their answering machine and any Web sites related to the operation.
Cohen previously sought an injunction against the non-profit.
The Jenkinses, whose operation sat next to the sheriff's department on Antelope Boulevard, had asserted that they opened before the county implemented a ban on medical marijuana operations.
Their assertion did little to deter Sheriff Clay Parker from issuing citations against the Jenkinses for 35 days on end, citing the couple for a pair of zoning violations related to the county ban.
Those citations still apply and are being handled by the court separately, Cohen said. The court is scheduled to resume the matter again Dec. 29.
