"Authorities in Crawford County said they've made the biggest synthetic marijuana bust ever Friday.Sheriff Ron Brown said the bust happened after an investigation into the S&amp;P gas station on Highway 71.Deputies were investigating an armed robbery in September, but when they were processing the scene, they said they noticed something else that was suspicious.\"We felt like it was not just a convenience store but that maybe there was some illegal activity in the store,\" Brown said.Brown said they found 900 grams of synthetic marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the store. An attendant at the station, Inderjot Singh, was arrested.\"Some retailers will change the name of it. For example, 'mean green' or whatever, and so, just because it's not called K2 doesn't mean it's not a Schedule VI controlled substance,\" said Chief Deputy Prosecutor Robert Presley.Investigators said Singh is believed to be the son of the store's owner and was there when the bust was made.Singh faces two counts of delivery of a controlled substance, maintaining premises for drug sales, possession with intent to deliver controlled substances and possession of drug paraphernalia.The sheriff said they have reports that Singh was selling to teenagers in the area.\"We have received some information from the Alma Police Department about some students possibly purchasing a synthetic-type controlled substance,\" Brown said. \"A lot of the products that were on the shelves that you would see at a convenience store were outdated by not only several months, but even by a year or two.\"Authorities said under Arkansas law, there's not much difference between real or synthetic marijuana.\"It's also listed as a Schedule VI controlled substance just like marijuana is, so it's still a criminal offense under the Arkansas statute. (You can) still get arrested, still get prosecuted for that,\" Presley said.The sheriff said they've placed holds on all of the bank accounts associated with the store, which remains closed for the time being."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
