Polk County, Florida, 28 January 2012
Four NRI Gujaratis are now facing charge after Polk County detectives busted two convenient stores owned by them for selling synthetic cannabinoid substances, also known as K-2.
The synthetic drugs, which are banned in Florida, were found at The Beverage Castle on Lake Shore Way in Lake Alfred and The Sunoco Superway #6 Store on Dundee Road in Dundee.
32-year-old Kinjal Patel and 34-year-old Viral Patel, owners of the Sunoco, and 25-year-old Kelvin Patel and 51-year-old Vishnubhai Patel, owners of the Beverage Castle, face several charges.
They include: Possession of a controlled substance, sale of a controlled substance and possession with intent to sell.
Kinjal Patel is also accused of offering the drugs to an undercover female detective in exchange for sexual acts.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said the county has been checking convenience stores for the drugs following the death of a teenager weeks ago.
