The charges are in addition to the original four-count indictment on October 13, 2012 that charged them with conspiring to cultivate and distribute marijuana and possessing marijuana with the intent to distribute it. Mark Bagdasarian was also charged with cultivating marijuana. The next court date for Mark and Ryan Bagdasarian is August 20, 2012.
