The lawsuit added that 75 boxes of pizza were found at McCormick's farm following the raid by the Riverside County Sheriff's Office.

A weed farmer in California recently filed a lawsuit against the a local sheriff’s office alleging that they conducted an illegal raid of his farm and then threw a pizza party to celebrate.

Earlier this week, Preston McCormick filed a lawsuit against the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office in California, alleging that several officers executed an “unlawful and illicit” raid at his cannabis farm, East Wind AG, and then celebrated the raid while remaining on his farm.

“Astonishingly, and at the conclusion of all this wholesale destruction and devastation at the hands of RCSD’s officers and others directed and controlled by same, all as briefly described herein and above, Defendants proceeded to celebrate the terrible results of their unlawful acts by ordering for delivery to, and then consuming, various pizza and other food and drinks, all while still remaining at and on the Property (the “Pizza Party”),” the lawsuit, which was reviewed by Newsweek, said.

The lawsuit added that 75 boxes of pizza were found at McCormick’s farm following the raid by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.

    Hmm…

    Much of McCormick’s property and cannabis plants were destroyed during the raid

    I can guess how they “destroyed” it if they got 75 boxes of pizza afterward.

      I can’t. How many police officers possibly participated in the raid, and how many pizza pies an average policeman can eat? Let’s say 2 at max, that suggests 35 policemen. WTF?

        Are pizzas small there? I couldn’t imagine eating even half a pizza solo. Let alone more than one full one. Pizza is a party food for that reason isn’t it?

        Or I guess am I missing the joke, is it that police are generally larger people and eat more?

          I made a worst case estimation of small pizzas and large hungry policemen. These numbers suggest that there should be AT LEAST 35 policemen. If we go with half pizza per person, we get 140 policemen. It is WTF^2

      Not even joking, but they often burn it in a fire they all stand around.

      Which obviously gets them high and gives them an excuse if they’re tested, so I’m sure they actually smoke some too.

      But burning pounds of it explains how they got high enough to not only order 75 pizzas, but leave all the boxes there and then drive away after.

      If a single one was sober they’d have realized they at least needed to dispose of the boxes to hide evidence
