Hello Fellow Redbirds,
We apologize for our silence the last few months, but we were cautioned by counsel to tread lightly until we had a better understanding of the legal ramifications surrounding the Redbird H**p raid, which occurred this past June.
Here is the latest update:
On Christmas Eve, Griffin McGaughey, was pulled over by police on a traffic stop and Griffin was arrested on a felony warrant related to the June 13, 2025, Temple raid on Redbird H**p. The exact charges are still unclear due to the district attorney’s office unwillingness to communicate, and refusal to share information with our attorneys, Dan Clancy and Scot Coutney. Mr. Clancy and Mr. Courtney, for 6 months, have been reaching out to the Bell County DA to let them know that we are here; we’re a family; and we have every intention of cooperating fully in their investigation. Despite our best efforts to communicate with prosecutors, the Bell County authorities decided the week before Christmas would be the appropriate time to issue warrants, and Christmas Eve was as good a time as any to arrest Griffin. We were shocked, which may have been the exact effect they intended.
Griffin was booked into the Bell County jail, and his bond was set as $80,000.00. Considered by our attorneys, and everyone we’ve spoken with to be excessively high for a h**p case. With the help of friends, family and other sources Griffin was able to post bail and come home to spend Christmas with his family. The Temple PD raid on RedBird H**p this past June has created an enormous financial hardship on the McGaughey's, not to mention the mental and physical stress its caused.
We opened and operated RedBird H**p, dedicated and committed to the lawful process our Texas legislature created for us when it legalized h**p, and the sale of h**p derived products. Anyone who stepped foot into RedBird H**p knows first hand how dedicated and serious the McGaughey's were about being responsible business owners, selecting quality products, and educating their clients to the best of their ability. RedBird H**p made sure that their products were only sold to responsible adults over the age of 21. Yes, they'd even ID you if you were 60+ years old!
Please help us by sharing this social media release with your friends and family, and above all else, please keep the McGaughey family in your thoughts and prayers!
