Feds say Spice makers fed 38 states

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - An Albuquerque Spice operation that became the focus of a Drug Enforcement Administration bust in May 2012 helped supply smoke shops in 38 states, according to recently released court documents.

DEA agents pulled boxes and boxes of synthetic marijuana known as Spice out of the warehouse on Hawkins Street NE in Albuquerque.

They also raided the homes of the alleged players in this case: Ira Stockton, Adam Stockton, James Robertson and Derrick Black.

Court documents reveal the group had quite the operation. The feds claim the operators would manufacture and package the Spice in the Albuquerque warehouse and then ship it through FedEx to smoke shops across the country in at least 38 states.

Based on the money seized during the raid, it appears the group was quite profitable. More than $6 million was recovered from the suspects' bank accounts, safety deposit boxes and, in one case, a night stand.

The suspects also had some very expensive items in their homes including Rolex, Ferrari, and Invictis watches, fancy cars and all-terrain vehicles. They also had guns, including an AR-15.

All of that has been seized by the feds.

Six suspects have been indicted in the case, but the investigation is continuing.
