Little doubt that Mr. Sexton will be seeking financial reimbursement from the county (taxpayers).
"The state’s medical marijuana law requires law enforcement officials to care for and return plants, paraphernalia and equipment upon determination of registered medical marijuana patients and/or dismissal of charges."

Sexton is yet to be charged with anything. The case has been turned over to the DA office.
