A Connecticut man is facing charges for illegally diverting and distributing marijuana in his marijuana growing facility’s parking lot.
The man, Andrew M. Bozzuto, 54, is listed in state incorporation documents as the principal owner of Connecticut Pharmaceutical Solutions in Portland. He is to appear in court on December 5th on several drug-related charges.
It was this past June that the state Department of Consumer Protection was given an anonymous tip that Bozzuto had taken marijuana from the facility and that he had given them to an employee in the parking lot at the Portland operation.
Consumer Protection Commissioner Michelle H. Seagull stated, “Our Drug Control Division acted incredibly quickly as soon as this incident was reported to us, and Mr. Bozzuto’s attorney confirmed within a day that Mr. Bozzuto would no longer be on premises at the facility.”
It was in July that Bozzuto suspended his license.
“Our investigation remains pending, but at this time we’re confident that this is an isolated situation, and not a reflection of the program as a whole,” Seagull said.
“We continue to regulate the industry carefully in accordance with state law, and are pleased with the quality health care it provides more than 20,000 patients in the state.”
