- 8 fluid ounces of promethazine with codeine (ingredients seen in cough syrup)
- 40 THC edibles
- 91 liquid THC cartridges
- Two bottles of promethazine hydrochloride
All three were placed under arrest without incident and each faces nearly a dozen counts of possession of a controlled substance, first- through fifth-degree.
They were arraigned on Tuesday, Aug. 8.
Salazar and Salway are due back in court on Thursday, Aug. 10, while Membreno will appear again on Friday, Sept. 8.
