Police confiscated more than $36,000 from the Killeen shop, but only a few hundred dollars worth of product was seized.Kyle Brown got a call from one of his employees on the morning of Oct. 20. He learned that cops were at his Killeen, Texas, vape shop, Venom Vapors, along with the fire marshal, city building inspectors and code enforcement. They had gotten a tip about narcotics sales and crime at the business and were there to check it out.
Many of the products Venom Vapors sells come with a certificate of analysis , which lists the constituents and shows that they are compliant with state law. A detective told Brown he scanned the COA for one of the shop’s delta-8 dab products and that it showed there was too much THC for it to be legal. “That just isn’t the case,” Brown said. But, the cop said the COA showed the product had something like 80% THC.
“On Friday, October 20, 2023, detectives conducted an inspection, with the assistance of the Killeen Fire Marshals, Killeen Code Enforcement, and Killeen Building Inspectors,” police said in the press release. “During the inspection, illegal narcotics were displayed inside the business. A narcotics search warrant was executed, and detectives seized 120 grams of THC products, 56 grams of marijuana, eight electronic gambling devices , six gambling ledgers, gambling paraphernalia, and $36,117.
On August 29, Jonathan Pollak, the owner of Happy Hippies, got a phone call from the Little Elm Police Department, who told him he needed to come down to the shop. He said that when he arrived, the number of law enforcement at the shop reminded him of a scene out of a movie. After entering, he found that police had already removed products from the shelves and were examining them. The search warrant stated the cops were there to look for THC.
