U.S. agrees to return $1.1 million to company busted for hauling legal weed money in Kansas

Last year, a sheriff’s deputy in Dickinson County, Kansas, stopped one of Empyreal Logistics' vehicles on Interstate 70 and seized nearly $166,000 in cash it was transporting from legal medical marijuana dispensaries in Kansas City, Missouri, to a credit union in Colorado.
In a possible harbinger of how a similar case in Kansas might end, the government has agreed to return $1.1 million it seized from an armored car company that was transporting cash from state-licensed cannabis businesses in California.

In return, the armored car company, Denver-based Empyreal Logistics, has agreed to drop the federal lawsuit it filed in California against the government. The suit alleged the seizures in California and Kansas were illegal.
