Drug Bust Could Close Shed
The 908-capacity
Longtime owner Robin Jones is facing charges for alleged cultivation, possession and distribution of marijuana, according to the Rocky Mountain Collegian, along with alleged possession of Ecstasy.
Because the amphitheatre is not included in a civil suit involving Jones and the federal government, the
Jones was arrested last August after a burglary in a facility near the amphitheatre led to Sheriffโs deputies uncovering hundreds of marijuana plants on the property.
โEveryone knows that Mishawaka has been involved with drugs for a long time,โ Josh Sheldon, lead investigator on the case for the Larimer County Sheriffโs Office, told the Collegian.
The federal government has filed asset forfeiture against Jones in an effort to gain possession of Jonesโ house and marijuana growing equipment but, โAll parties agreed the amphitheatre would not be a part of the agreement,โ a spokesman for the U.S. Attorneyโs Office said.
