Two employees of a marijuana dispensary were robbed at gunpoint Saturday when they arranged to sell three men marijuana at a location away from the dispensary.
The two men met the suspects at about 3:50 p.m. at 4900 Cresita Drive near the San Diego State University campus, according to San Diego Police Officer Robert Heims.
One man got into the suspects’ car to make the deal, was robbed at gunpoint and pistol-whipped in the head, Heims said. The second man came over to the car to help his partner.
Two suspects ran away and the third suspect, identified as 20-year-old Malcolm Cloud, stayed and was arrested, the officer said.
The pistol-whipped victim was taken to a hospital for treatment of a cut on his head, Heims said.
Anyone with information about the robbery was asked to call San Diego police, or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
