Undercover officers in a summertime investigation into Waterford’s Everybody’s Cafe used fake medical marijuana cards to gain entrance to the dispensary, according to testimony Friday during a preliminary examination.
Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Enforcement Team undercover officers Kurt Bearer and Derek Myers testified Friday afternoon that they used fake cards to enter the compassion club on Airport Road in Waterford. Myers said he created them using a basic Photoshop program and used a false last name on the card.
The testimony was presented during the preliminary exams for eight people in front of 51st District Judge Richard Kuhn Jr. The exams were held in Waterford Township Town Hall Auditorium.
Those entering Everybody’s Cafe were also required to present another form of valid identification. Myers said he also presented a state issued Michigan driver’s license with a false last name, which is legal because he’s an undercover officer.
Both officers said they wore recording devices while purchasing marijuana at the business on multiple occasions. During Myers’ testimony, the court viewed an undercover video he recorded on Aug. 23, in which he entered the club and purchased some marijuana from people sitting at a table inside.
