SALINA, Kan. (AP) Authorities have made another arrest in a central Kansas crackdown on distribution of an illegal drug nicknamed “potpourri.”
KSAL-AM reports that Salina police arrested a 10th person Tuesday in an investigation that began earlier this month.
Nine other people were arrested last week on suspicion of distributing the marijuana-like substance in the Salina area. Authorities say the so-called “potpourri” was manufactured in the Denver area and brought to Kansas.
The case has been investigated by a regional drug task force, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and Salina police. Officers seized nearly two pounds of the drug, with an estimated street value of nearly $20,000, on Sept. 10.
Among those arrested last week was a former Salina store owner who was free while awaiting sentencing for selling the substance.
