An 18-year-old employee of a Coram smoke shop was arrested on Saturday for selling cannabis to an underage customer, marking the second such incident at the business in recent weeks.
At 1:55 p.m., Suffolk County Police officers conducted a compliance check at Koncept Smoke Shop, located at 35 Middle Country Road, and discovered that an employee was selling cannabis to an underage person. During the investigation, officers seized a substantial quantity of cannabis and cannabis oils from the store.
This latest arrest follows a previous investigation by Sixth Precinct Crime Section officers on May 23, during which another employee was charged with possession of cannabis products and selling to an underage person.
The employee, who is resident of Coram, was charged with Unlawful Sale of Cannabis and Criminal Possession of Cannabis in the Third Degree. He was issued a Field Appearance Ticket and is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip at a later date.
A criminal charge is an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
