Blue Toad, Inc. Collective's Owners Fined

Ca.- Each owner of a now defunct Red Bluff cannabis collective must pay $860 in fines for citations given during October, a Tehama County Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday.

Lana Louise Aguiar, 53, and Ashley Aleene Arnold, 25, received four citations for unlawful occupancy and unlawful land use during the short time they operated the Blue Toad, Inc. collective.

Fines for the other citations will be suspended as long as the first one is paid, according to court records.

The citations were issued on Oct. 22, 26 and 28 by the Red Bluff Police Department.

The Blue Toad, which operated out of a building on Hickory Street, opened Oct. 13.

The collective closed in November after the city adopted a temporary ordinance against marijuana collectives, cooperatives and dispensaries.

Owners have said they voluntarily closed after the city threatened to issue citations to the landlord.

Charges from a fourth citation issued on Nov. 3 are still pending. Aguiar and Arnold appeared in court Nov. 28 and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

A trial date has been set for Feb. 3 for the Nov. 3 citation.
