Denver officials revoked four business licenses for a Montbello marijuana dispensary and grow facility after finding repeated code violations and learning that one of the employees was arrested in an interstate drug case, according to city records. Denver's Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection, formerly the Department of Excise and Licenses, on Jan. 8 revoked licenses for Blazin OG's retail and medical shops and grow facilities, city officials wrote in a final decision letter earlier this month.
City inspectors scheduled a visit to the facility, also known as OG Medicinals, at 4995 Lima St. after learning that the wife of the owner, Marc Steimer, was arrested last year south of Omaha, Nebraska, with 31 pounds of marijuana in heat-sealed bags in her vehicle.
Eileen Steimer, who was the compliance manager at Blazin OG, told local law enforcement officers she was transporting the marijuana from Colorado to friends in Michigan. Her March arrest in Sarpy County triggered an inspection of Blazin OG by Colorado officials in June.
John Reisz, chief deputy county attorney for Sarpy County, told The Denver Post on Friday that Eileen Steimer was pulled over on March 6 after repeatedly changing lanes. Officers smelled marijuana in her vehicle and then found the 31-pound cannabis cargo.
