Law enforcement officers arrested the owner of BoCoMo Bay yesterday after firearms and a large amount of synthetic marijuana were found at his south Columbia home, they said.

Approximately 100 firearms along with a large amount of substances believed to be synthetic marijuana were discovered at the home of Kevin E. Bay, 47, at 400 E. Old Plank Road, according to a Boone County Sheriff’s Department news release. Bay operates BoCoMo Bay at 1122 Wilkes Blvd.

*****

Bay was arrested on the outstanding warrant from Stoddard County that charges him with six counts of delivery or imitation of a synthetic controlled substance and two counts of distribution of a controlled substance. The charges do not pertain to the new law that went into effect Sunday banning the sale of certain types of bath salts and synthetic marijuana.

Well, it is Colombia... oh, you said Columbia. Never mind.

Guns, not illegal.
Synthetic marijuana, not illegal at the time the warrant was issued.
I'd say the guy walks.

Not sure about those bath salts though. That might corrupt the youth of America and lead to wild bathe-ins. Thanks, DEA, FBI and FDA for being there to purtekt us from ourselves.

They call them bath salts, but they are abused like powder drugs.

Disgusting toxic chemicals. The real ones are safer.

Guns, not illegal. Synthetic marijuana, not illegal at the time the warrant was issued. I'd say the guy walks.

They also confiscated precious metals? If Mr. EBay walks, should he also have the right to ransack the homes of the officers, and whomever issued the warrant?

[Big Giant Head]

Huh. The article didn’t mention the precious metals like the radio clip I heard 9 times yesterday did. I heard $100,000 worth of precious metals.

[Immerito]

Sadly, he’s probably not going to see his guns or his precious metals for awhile, and if/when he does, his quantity of both shall have strangely been “lightened”.

I wonder if he is a Freeper.

The Bath salts they are referring to here are some nasty stuff. Worse than LSD as the effects of these bath salts can linger for days and have had lead to suicide. They were banned in Louisiana, the first state to do so I believe. The Parish I live in was the first place to outlaw them in Louisiana after a couple of suicides one of which involved a Doctor’s son.

I get it about the 'bath salts' now. Pretty much the same as some sites advertising salvia divinorum as 'incense'. I personally don't like powders which you are supposed to snort up your nose. But a little bit of 'incense' can relax one from a hard day's work. I don't use anything dangerous or illegal these days.
