FLINT (AP) -- A former Flint police officer faces federal charges that he and another man brought more than $1 million worth of marijuana into the state with plans to sell it.
Reports say a raid on Akil Young's home in Davisburg found 1,400 pounds of packaged marijuana in his garage. The 36-year-old and 29-year-old Johnny Earl-Milo Taylor II of Flint were arrested Wednesday by local and federal authorities.
The men are being held and expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Flint Friday for a detention hearing. The marijuana conspiracy charge carries a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison and a $2 million fine.
David Koelzer, who served as the public defender for both men, said Friday he expects they will have new attorneys at the hearing
