According to the U.S. attorney office, two brothers from Denton: Holden Bownds, 23, and Samuel Madeley, 22 were convicted for a running a large synthetic marijuana, or “spice” operation that spanned across 38 states.
The brothers teamed up with: Samuel Madeley, 22, and Holden Bownds, 23, Aaron Parrish, 31, Jennie Miller, 41, Kyle Boyer, 31, and Brandon Zerler, 26; all from Fort Wayne, Indiana. And David Muise, 23, is from Londonderry, New Hampshire.
According to court records, the drug ring sold synthetic marijuana “spice” through two companies set up in Indiana and Ohio marketed as “potpourri,” “air freshener,” and “incense” in cute small packages. The ring sold the drugs under the names B2 Da Bomb, V8, Roses and Street Legal. The ring also posted commercials on YouTube.
