State and local law enforcement wrap up a three-year investigation of synthetic marijuana, known as K2.
Officers hit more than a dozen convenience stores to attempt undercover buys or serve search warrants. Tulsa County Undersheriff Tim Albin said they won’t stop with the sellers targeted in this operation.
"If you're selling this stuff, you're going to see us. We're going to be knuckling your door next, because we're just not going to tolerate it in Tulsa County and in Tulsa, Oklahoma," Albin said. "It's a quality-of-life issue. They're killing our kids, and we're just not going to tolerate it. We're not going to stand for it."
State Attorney General Scott Pruitt praised the cooperation among those involved.
"You see state and local law enforcement working together — [Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics], Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, Tulsa PD — but you also see prosecutors working with law enforcement to work together to take down bad folks, bad actors that prey upon our children," Pruitt said.
Officers targeted 13 individually owned convenience stores and one individual seller they believe are conspiring to distribute K2. The sheriff’s office said the drug has been a growing problem in Tulsa County.
