Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan T. Cullinane, who is handling the case, stated that on November 17, 2015, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance conducted a regulatory inspection of Pyramid Express HSD, a convenience store located near Public School 45 in Buffalo. Investigators recovered over 500 packages of synthetic marijuana packages, which were labeled with names such as, “Strawberry Scooby Snax,” “Hypnotic,” and “Insane.”
The defendant, Salleh Dubaishi, made an initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder, Jr. and was released on conditions.
The criminal complaint is the result of an investigation by Immigration and Csutoms Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of James C. Spero, and the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance, under the direction of Commissioner Thomas Mattox.
