The Town of Yucca Valley shut down an illegal marijuana dispensary Wednesday afternoon. The Town’s Code Compliance department received an anonymous tip that a marijuana dispensary was operating out of a storefront in the 55900 block of Twentynine Palms Highway and went out to investigate about 4:30 Wednesday. Leanthon Clark, 34, of Adelanto, was cited for operating an illegal marijuana dispensary. During the investigation, deputies determined that Clark had given them a false name to conceal the fact that he was a registered sex offender who had been convicted of a 1999 offense with a child under 14. The district attorney will determine if additional charges will be filed against Leanthon Clark.
