MIDDLESEX, NJ – A Piscataway man was arrested on charges of operating an illegal cannabis dispensary in Middlesex Borough, police there said on Friday.
Investigators determined that Christopher L. Twine, 36, was running Queen City Petro, an unlicensed dispensary located at 555 Bound Brook Road where they seized 23.3 pounds of raw marijuana, suspected marijuana-infused food products, items believed to have been used to operate the business, and over $17,000 in cash, said Middlesex Police Chief Matthew P. Geist.
Twine was charged with Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute, Possession of Marijuana and Money Laundering, said Geist.
