Public nuisances, defendants in suits to enjoin.

structure or place, which is resorted to for the purpose of possessing, keeping,
transporting, distributing or manufacturing controlled substances shall be
deemed a public nuisance.
2. The attorney general, circuit attorney or prosecuting attorney may, in addition
to any criminal prosecutions, prosecute a suit in equity to enjoin the public

use, keeping or selling of controlled substances, the court may order that the
premises shall not be occupied or used for such period as the court may
determine, not to exceed one year.
3. All persons, including owners, lessees, officers, agents, inmates or
