Police investigating alleged 7H sales

Lt. Marty Hodge, Police Chief Ray O'Neal and Officer Bobby
West inventory items seized from the smoke shop.

Local authorities executed a search warrant at 1 p.m., today at the tobacco shop on Sturgis Road in Marion after an informant purchased 7H, an alleged synthetic marijuana, this morning.

Officers seized numerous items and served a criminal summons on the owner of the business and the clerk who allegedly sold the 7H, which is marketed as potpourri not for human consumption. Despite its labeling, police throughout Kentucky are finding people who have smoked the product, which some police have likened to LSD.

This week's Crittenden Press printed edition will have a complete wrap-up of the undercover operation that was conducted Monday on the Marion business.
