BUTTE - The Butte-Silver Bow County attorney's office had dropped a marijuana production charge filed against a 52-year-old Butte man who was eligible for a medical marijuana card.
Mitchell Booth was charged last October, after authorities raided his home and found a dozen mature marijuana plants.
In moving to dismiss the case, Deputy County Attorney Kelly Fivey says Booth could have used the Medical Marijuana Act as a defense against the charge, even though he was not a registered card holder.
Booth has multiple sclerosis, which would have qualified him for a medical marijuana card. Officials say after Booth's arrest, both he and his wife obtained medical marijuana cards through the Department of Public Health and Human Services.
