Family of medical marijuana providers indicted

HELENA — A family of Montana medical marijuana providers has been indicted on federal charges after their business locations across the state were raided by agents in March.

The three new indictments bring the total to six marijuana providers charged with alleged crimes stemming from the searches of more than two dozen businesses, residences and warehouses this spring.

Richard Flor, his wife Sherry Flor and their son Justin Flor appeared Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Carolyn Ostby in Billings on 11 counts. The charges include conspiracy to manufacture, distribute and possess with intent to distribute marijuana, plus money laundering and possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking offense.

All three pleaded not guilty. They were being held at the Yellowstone County jail before being turned over to U.S. marshals.
