Two women have faced felony drug charges after agents with the Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team found they were selling marijuana edibles at a church event in Savannah, Georgia.
Ebony Cooper, 28, and Leah Pressley, 26, were openly selling the THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) laced baked goods at an event on Friday, September 14 while the church was hosting for local entrepreneurs, according to agents. They said there were various types of cereal treats, brownies and puddings for sale.
According to CNT’s Facebook post, agents bought a few products at the booth and kept an eye on Cooper. They followed both Pressley and Cooper to another location where they searched Pressley’s vehicle. They found a large number of marijuana edibles, more than $1,000 in cash, as well as a loaded gun. Agents said they believed Cooper had the gun in her possession while manning her booth at the church event.
“During CNT’s investigation, agents determined Cooper was actively advertising her edibles on various social media sites. In addition, Cooper was displaying the edibles on her table at the event. The edibles included a mixture of various types of cereal treats, brownies, and puddings,” wrote the Facebook post.
Based on CNT’s investigation, agents determined this event was hosted by an outside vendor and that the church was unaware of any illegal activities occurring on its property. Agents say all other vendors appeared to have been selling legitimate, legal goods.
