Homestead detectives said a \u201ctrap house\u201d in a residential neighborhood was at the center of a setup for the illegal sale of drugs. <\/p>\n

What was most disturbing about the findings for Chief Mario Knapp was the deceptive packaging that clearly marketed to kids. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the same logo, the same fonts, the same colors,\u201d Knapp said about bags that appeared Cheetos or Doritos, but he said were laced with 600 milligrams of THC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe person who\u2019s the consumer knows what they\u2019re buying,\u201d Knapp said. \u201cThe problem is you leave that around in the house, and any child can pick that up.\u201d <\/p>\n

Other pre-rolled marijuana joints and edibles were packaged with cartoon-like logos. Knapp said a lab was processing the drugs.<\/p>\n

Detectives said they served a search warrant and arrested a suspect early Thursday morning at the house, and the investigation was ongoing on Monday. <\/p>\n

Knapp said illegal drug houses often are connected to other criminal activity and firearms. The department will not disclose the identity of the suspect as long as the investigation remains ongoing. <\/p>\n
