Five Macomb County men were arraigned today, six months after they were arrested during raids in connection with a Shelby Township business that township police said was operating as a medical marijuana dispensary.

Danny Jamil, 36, of Warren; Ryan Masters, 31, of Sterling Heights; Andrew Zuhrab, 24, of Shelby Township; David Carbone, 25, of Roseville, and David Pando, 23, of Washington Township were arraigned in 41-A District Court in Shelby Township. Police said they were charged with multiple counts of delivery of marijuana, possession with intent to deliver marijuana and conspiracy charges, which are four-year felonies.

Shelby Township Police Detective Lt. Jason Schmittler said the charges came after lab results from the search warrants, including one at Advance Medical Supply, 51310 Van Dyke, near 23 Mile, last year. Authorities also searched two homes in Sterling Heights and one home each in Roseville and Shelby Township, police said at the time of the raids in July.

Four men were arrested at the dispensary and another was arrested near his home in Sterling Heights, police said after the search warrants were executed.

Today, police said the search at the dispensary recovered 11.7 pounds of marijuana, 100 jars of shatter and 101 jars of THC extract. Other cannabis products were seized, according to a press release, including 993 assorted cannabis edible treats. It stated that four cars were impounded subject to forfeiture and two handguns and a shotgun were seized.

At other addresses, it stated, authorities recovered money, three pounds of marijuana and important documents related to Advance Medical Supply. About $1,100 was forfeited, the business was emptied and the contents are subject to forfeiture, police said.

Schmittler said the business has not been open since the search warrant was executed last year. Police previously said the business opened earlier in 2015 after applying with the township as a medical supply business. It had more than $100,000 in marijuana, edibles, paraphernalia and other products at the time of the raids, police said.

The business' website indicated it was a "medical provision center" with natural and traditional medicine, herbal remedies, holistic lifestyle and wellness and alternative therapy.

At the time to the raids, the investigation had been ongoing for several months.
