DA panel to decide if charges are to be filed against Temecula medical pot co-op owner

Almost four months have passed since Temecula police arrested medical marijuana activist Martin J. Victor and seized dozens of plants from his home. No charges have been filed.

Zenia Gilg, Victor’s lawyer, has filed a motion in Riverside County Superior Court seeking to have all of Victor’s property returned to him. Victor adhered to state guidelines for running a medicinal marijuana collective, and he shouldn’t have to wait this long for charges to be filed, Gilg said in an interview.

“They have to fish or cut bait,” she said.

Deputy District Attorney Greg Albright said this week that a committee will convene sometime in the next week or two to decide whether to file charges.
