Man Accused Of Manufacturing THC-Laced Gumballs

Another person was arrested in connection with gumballs laced with marijuana, according to Arlington County police. Police said 20-year-old Paul C. Coffer Jr. of the 1600 block of South Eads Street manufactured gumballs laced with marijuana. He was arrested Saturday after police were called to his apartment building for the report of a man with a gun. When officers arrived, they found Coffer trying to break into an apartment in the same building where he lives. When police went into Coffer's apartment, they found hundreds of gumballs, and further investigation revealed Coffer was manufacturing gumballs laced with THC, also known as "greenades," authorities said. The gumballs had the tops cut off and were being filled with THC. In Ellicott City, Md., three Howard High School students were caught with two greenades and have been charged, police said. Officials from the Maryland State Police forensic lab said they have never seen anything like them, News4's Cheryl Butler reported. The lab recently received the two yellow gumballs, each with a smiley face printed on the side and filled with marijuana.
