Police report spice bust at B Street Smoke Shop

The Colorado Springs Police Department says one person was arrested and synthetic marijuana was recovered after a sting at a smoke shop near Fort Carson. It was part of law enforcement’s efforts to tackle the spice problem in the area.

The bust reportedly happened at the B Street Smoke Shop, 2051 B Street, in El Paso County.

According to police, undercover officers repeatedly purchased synthetic marijuana, or spice, from one employee at the shop. Officers then obtained a search warrant, which was executed by the El Paso County SWAT team.

Colorado Springs Police say 69.28 grams of suspected spice was seized, along with $578 cash.

The staff member who allegedly sold the spice to undercover officers was arrested. Cynthia Sinclair, 56, is facing felony charges. Police say additional arrests are possible.
