Charges are pending after the Special Enforcement Team seized synthetic marijuana at a store in the municpality.
The unit turned up 25-hundred packages of it, and $10,000cash as part of an on-going trafficking investigation.
The product is called Spirit 4:20 Premium Herbal Incense and is often sold in smoke shops.
It’s marketed as smoke-able herbal incense, but the package does warn that its not for human consumption.
