The owner of the Bargain Alley on South Poplar in Centralia has been arrested for selling synthetic drugs from the store. Centralia Police arrested 55-year-old Joan Worley of North Maple in Centralia Tuesday afternoon for alleged possession and intent to deliver a controlled substance and maintaining a public nuisance. She remains in the Marion County Jail pending a first appearance in court.
Centralia Police say they made the arrest after five products found in the store tested positive for the presence of MDPV, one of the chemicals found on a list of controlled substances made illegal at the beginning of the year. The products testing positive were being sold under the names White Surge, White Magic, Disco Solution, Snow Bunny, and Crystal Clean Hookah and Pipe Cleaner. The police department seized 84.5 grams of the synthetic drugs.
Worley is the first person to be arrested in Marion County on the new law designed to crack down on the sale of synthetic drugs which police have identified as the fastest growing drug problem in the area. - http://goo.gl/diXCo
