POLICE SHUT DOWN HEMPFEST BOOTHS, ANGERING VENDORS
Police shut down several Tacoma Hempfest booths Saturday, angering
vendors who said they were following the rules of city permits while
offering items that head shops usually sell without hassle.
Officers arrived as booths were set up for the marijuana-themed
festival in Wright Park. They handed out 13 tickets for drug
paraphernalia and marijuana possession to vendors, police said, and
seized pipes and bongs as evidence.
"They're picking on us. They don't want Hempfest back," organizer Cat
Jeter said, calling the ticketed vendors "people who operate in the
light of day in this city every single day."
