Oklahoma DA protests ruling to return pipes and papers to head shop
By The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma prosecutor is appealing a judge’s order to return items confiscated during 2015 raids at a now-closed pipe shop in Norman.
District Attorney Greg Mashburn asked the Oklahoma Supreme Court on Tuesday to order Special Judge Steve Stice to decide whether the items, including glass pipes and rolling papers, are drug paraphernalia whose return is prohibited.

Mashburn’s appeal says Stice avoided his duty by “legislating from the bench” and requiring prosecutors to prove the items’ return is prohibited.
Cox’s attorney, Blake Lynch, didn’t immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.
Legal MJ not looking too terribly great in OK.
