As a general rule, where medical marijuana activists go, weirdness usually follows. Steve Sarich is a medical marijuana activist. So, it wasn’t all that surprising when he got into a firefight with a gang of burglars after they allegedly broke into his home to take his stash. Nor when King County Sheriff’s Department admitted that prior to that they were investigating allegations that Sarich was dealing out marijuana out of his house. But this? No, for this we were not prepared. According to the King County Sheriff’s Department, Sarich is now accusing Sheriff’s deputies of “assault by bodily fluid.”
