Whether or not you agree with the legality of marijuana, these businesses have a problem. The owners are almost unable to get business banking services,  and thus business credit card services, which makes it a cash only business and a tempting target for thugs.

Suspected pot shop robber fatally shot in Covington

COVINGTON, Wash. — A suspected pot shop robber was fatally shot Thursday night in Covington.

King County sheriff’s deputies were called at about 8 p.m. to the 27600 block of Covington Way Southeast.

A witness told KIRO 7 that the suspected robber had put someone in a headlock in the parking lot.

KIRO 7 was also told that an armed worker at the pot shop confronted the suspect, stopping them from going in, which is when the worker shot the suspect in “self-defense.”

The investigation is ongoing.
