Police are crediting the parents of a
Wisconsin high school student for coming forward with information that
led to a massive drug bust involving an operation that manufactured
thousands of counterfeit vaping cartridges loaded with THC oil every
day.
Officials said the investigation
started after parents caught their son in possession of vaping
cartridges with THC. They brought him to the Waukesha Police Department
in early July in an effort to hold him accountable, officials said.
The
probe reportedly led back to two Kenosha County brothers — Tyler and
Jacob Huffhines — and a major drug operation running out of a
condominium in an upscale neighborhood that officials said was rented
under a fake name.
"These parents were very
courageous for what they did," Waukesha Police Capt. Dan Baumann said
Wednesday. "If it wasn’t for these parents coming through and holding
their son accountable, I don’t think we'd be here today giving you the
information and the gravity of this vaping epidemic that's going on in
the nation right now. … I’m grateful for these parents."
