“This was set up almost as a business. There were vape cartridges packaged to look professionally. He had 10 employees working for him that would receive 30 cents per package while they assembled, manufactured and processed THC. (Huffhines) would stop in once a day to oversee the operation and pay them.”

According to the allegations, Huffhines had time cards set up for his employees. They filled about 3,000 to 5,000 cartridges per day and sold them for roughly $16 each. Huffhines told law enforcement he started the business in January 2018.

Huffhines paid $2,000, or was in the process of paying that amount, to obtain an innocent third-party’s identification to put on the lease of the condo.

Due to the sophistication of the operation, Burgoyne recommended a bond of “several hundred thousand dollars.”

Keating agreed.

“I understand these are allegations, but what we’re talking about appears to be some sort of organized, criminal behavior,” Keating said. “This is more than selling marijuana in small doses. The court believes (a high cash bond) is warranted.”
