The Warren County Drug Task Force hauled in 17,140 packages of bath salts with a street value of $685,600 from the Mason business. The pair turned themselves in at the Warren County Jail last week. They had allegedly been selling the banned substance until one of their sales people, James Lewellen, allegedly tried to rob them, according to Prosecutor David Fornshell.
“They are by all accounts the largest traffickers of bath salts that we’ve certainly come across in Warren County, and anecdotally they are huge traffickers in not just Warren County but all of Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Tennessee,” he said. “This is a highly sophisticated business and there is a lot of documentation of the criminal enterprise they were engaged in.”
