OAKDALE — The owner of a medical marijuana dispensary raided by police last summer has filed claims seeking about $2 million from the city of Oakdale and Stanislaus County.

Addison DeMoura, who owns Oakdale Natural Choice Collective Inc., was arrested after county drug enforcement agents and the Oakdale Police Department raided the dispensary and his home on July 31. He has not been charged.

The claims seek compensation for lost revenue, legal costs, damage to the home and business, and marijuana and equipment seized or destroyed during the raids.

The report by the California Highway Patrol says Deborah Matis-Engle, of Shingletown, was driving 66 mph and text-messaging just before the crash last August. Matis-Engle, 48, pleaded not guilty Monday to manslaughter charges in Shasta County Superior Court.

" Anytime mass personal data is missing or stolen IT IS NOT BY ACCIDENT! It's ALL about what the highest BIDDER will pay! No one is safe.
