A Putnam County business owner and his employee are facing drug charges after a major synthetic drug bust.
David Bowen, the owner of Second Time Around Music Emporium, and employee Jessica Staton are facing numerous felony charges of delivery of a controlled substance. More charges could be filed.
Officers also say they were dealing prescription pills out of the business.
During a search warrant of the business, officers recovered synthetic marijuana and several guns. It is unclear if the guns discovered will warrant additional charges.
Officers say they believe the pair is a major player in the synthetic drug pipeline, and the business could be shut down permanently.
Both Bowen and Staton denied the charges to Eyewitness News after they were arrested while at work.
