This is the same Louise Lucas who co-owned a cannabis shop that previously got heat for allegedly mislabeled products and exceeding legal THC limits. She's also the Virginia Senate president pro tempore, which is kind of a big deal.
Fox News tells us agents executed court-authorized search warrants Wednesday at Lucas' office in Portsmouth and a neighboring cannabis shop believed to be linked to her.
