Prosecutors in Minnesota filed felony charges Monday against two former officials from one of the state’s licensed medical marijuana manufacturers for allegedly shipping marijuana oil to a subsidiary facility in New York.

The complaint filed in Wright County Court alleges that two officials who no longer work for Minnesota Medical Solutions – the company’s Minnesota branch – collaborated in December 2015 to ship more than 5 kilograms of concentrated marijuana oil from Minnesota to New York, where the company faced a product shortfall ahead of New York’s January 2016 start to legal sales.
