Ohio authorities stormed a farm house in LaGange Monday, December 1, to
execute a search warrant, holding the Jacqueline and John Stowers and their
son and young grandchildren at gunpoint for nine hours. During the raid the
Ohio Department of Agriculture and police confiscated over ten thousand
dollars worth of food, computers and cell phones. The Stowers’ crime?
They run a private, members-only food co-op.
The Morning Journal, a newspaper serving northern Ohio , reported that
the Stowers were believed to be operating without a license. However, the
Stowers claim that the food co-op they run does not engage in any
activities that would require state licensing.
