Feds to charge med pot grower from Highlands Ranch - The Denver Post

Federal prosecutors say they are preparing documents to charge a man whose home was raided Friday for growing medical marijuana.

Chris Bartkowicz will face one charge of possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute.

If convicted, the charges carry prison terms of five to 40 years.

Federal investigators say Bartkowicz had 224 plants in various stages of development at his Highlands Ranch home near C-470 and University Boulevard.

Bartkowicz violated state medical marijuana laws and the federal ban on marijuana, U.S. Attorney David Gaouette told 9Wants to Know Tuesday.

The Drug Enforcement Administration says Bartkowicz had more plants than state law allowed.
