A former Brenham businessman has been indicted on more charges involving the alleged sale of synthetic marijuana.

52-year old Ashraf Nazar Ali of Richmond, the former owner of a Brenham convenience store, has been indicted on seven counts of Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance.

Back in August, Ali was indicted on four similar counts.

Ali was arrested this past March after a lengthy investigation by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.  Deputies confiscated over 300 packs of synthetic canboids—known as KUSH, with a street value of over $12,000.  They also confiscated a large amount of cash they believe was from the sale of illegal drugs and paraphernalia.
