Centralia Police raided the Centralia Food Mart Thursday and confiscated a large amount of synthetic drugs found hidden around the building. Both the owner, 32-year-old Sokhjinder Singh of South Elm Street, and a clerk, 18-year-old Ravinder Singh of South Elm Street, were arrested.
Sokhjinder Singh is being held in the Marion County Jail for alleged possession of a controlled substance and operating a public nuisance.
Ravinder Singh is in custody on two counts of possession of a controlled substance. Police say they seized 83 packages of Crystal Clear that field tested for mephedrone and over 600 packages of synthetic cannabis.
Sokhjinder Singh told police he thought the product was legal. Under a new city ordinance, Centralia Police plan to seek immediate and permanent revocation of all of Centralia Food Mart's licenses to do business. - http://goo.gl/tJRkY
