A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman said two people were arrested and two addresses searched. Marijuana, cash, a car and a weapon were seized. One of the locations searched was a marijuana buyers club on College Avenue in Santa Rosa. Advocates refer to the club as a dispensary or compassionate care center. They say people with medical approval can buy marijuana at the club. At least six DEA agents pulled up in dark-colored SUVs and stormed into the front door of the store about 10:45 a.m., said Mark Nabavi, who runs the Printing Express store next door. "They made a big show of it," he said. "They blocked the front entrance and wouldn't let anyone in. They took down everyone's license plate number." Authorities declined to identify the people who were arrested, saying all information about the case was sealed by a federal judge. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
