A Gardnerville Ranchos man who had a permit to grow marijuana is seeking to have a search warrant and evidence that led to his arrest and the seizure of 50 pounds of pot this morning. James D. Gilbert is asking Judge Dave Gamble to suppress the search warrant and evidence that resulted in an Oct. 5 raid. Gilbert's attorney, Derrick Lopez, is arguing that officers had time to check with the Nevada Department of Agriculture to determine whether Gilbert's marijuana crop was legitimate before conducting the raid. Under Nevada's medical marijuana law, a caregiver may grow the plant with a permit for a patient.
