Owners of Abilene CBD store arrested, accused of selling illegal THC products

ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – The owners of the CBD House of Healing in Abilene, Brittany and Brennon Manske, have been arrested and charged with possession of THC with intent to deliver.

The arrests follow a raid conducted by the Abilene Police Department (APD) in August as part of a citywide investigation into businesses allegedly selling illegal THC products.

Court documents state that in June, an undercover officer purchased a THCA live rosin vape pen from the store that later tested positive for THC. The report notes the clerk allegedly told the officer, “It will mess you up.”

Court documents show that, following the positive test, APD issued a letter giving the business 30 days to cease operations due to violations of city zoning ordinances and the Texas Health and Safety Code. In August, a second undercover buy reportedly took place, during which another disposable vape and vape cartridge also tested positive for THC in a field test.

Authorities then executed a search warrant, seizing more than 17 pounds of marijuana, 3,580 pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes, and additional inventory.

Brittany and Brennon Manske were booked into the Taylor County Jail on October 30, each on a ,000 bond. Both have since been released.

The attorney for the CBD House of Healing is expected to release a statement soon.
