SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A former lawyer in the Salt Lake City attorney's office who is accused of making a marijuana byproduct in his basement with his two adult sons made his first court appearance this week.
The 50-year-old James Wesley Robinson was briefly in a Salt Lake City courtroom Wednesday along with his sons: 21-year-old Alexander Robinson and 18-year-old Zachary Robinson.
Each is charged with operation of a clandestine laboratory, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and possession or use of a controlled substance.
City spokesman Art Raymond says James Robinson was terminated on Feb. 24, six days after his arrest.
Attorneys representing the three men were not immediately available for comment.
They are accused of manufacturing the marijuana byproduct called "Dab" or "Shatter" that sells for more than regular marijuana.
