The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency seized thousands of CBD supplements and about $2 million in cash in a multi-state raid of Biloxi Councilman Robert Deming III's CBD and kratom stores. New details are unfolding this week after DEA agencies on the Mississippi Coast and in Hattiesburg and Fayetteville, North Carolina, removed documents and items made with synthetic cannabis from Deming's businesses on Jan. 26. Deming's home in the upscale Taylor Oaks subdivision also was raided. Chris Bell, special agent in charge for the DEA office in Gulfport, told the Sun Herald last week the investigation started a year and a half ago after people began reporting illness after using certain CBD products from Deming's stores, all called Candy Shop.
