Third Day of Evidentiary Hearing for Jeffre Sanderson and Alice Wiegand
| By Americans for Safe Access |
Published April 11, 2008

On August 14, 2006, a local-federal task force arrested Plumas County patients Jeff Sanderson (who also served as a caregiver for nine other patients and did not accept any "reasonable compensation") & Alice Wiegand in a raid for allegedly growing more than 260 plants. Though they were released from Plumas County jail within several days, on September 5, 2006, Sanderson was rearrested by federal agents and is being prosecuted on federal charges of manufacturing and conspiracy to manufacture more than 100 marijuana plants. Authorities confiscated all of the plants and medicine, and have initiated asset forfeiture proceedings on their home and family farm. Sanderson is currently being detained in Sacramento County Main Jail awaiting sentencing and both he and Wiegand have agreed to accept plea bargains. Sadly, Plumas County CPS has removed both of their young children and placed them with Sanderson's mother, and the parents must now submit to a long case-plan process in the hopes of someday regaining physical custody. Additionally, as a part of the plea bargain, Sanderson and Wiegand's house will be seized as a result of asset forfeiture.
At the Sentencing hearing, it is likely that the U.S. Attorney will request a sentence of 24-36 months for Sanderson, although hopefully, Judge Damrell will impose lesser sanctions, as Sanderson and Wiegand pled guilty to charges involving less than a hundred plants, so no mandatory minimum sentence applies. Please join us in supporting Sanderson & Wiegand in court, to demonstrate to Judge Damrell that they are part of our community.
