"The police department had been aware of our operation for years," Smith testified. "We've had police officers actually refer people to our club." Smith, 34, and Colby Budda, 30, are on trial for possession for the purpose of trafficking. The trial continues at a later date. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
