Members of the Dabish family, who are charged with selling K2 and other illegal drugs from their Shelby Township gas station and smoke shop, will be in court Wednesday for a preliminary exam.

Six members of the family—a mother, two sons and two grandsons—are facing a number of felony drug charges including delivering and manufacturing controlled substances, maintaining a drug house and possession of a controlled substance.

The original court date of March 28 was adjourned due to a serious illness, The Oakland Press reported.

Investigators also found more of the illegal drug in a Sterling Heights storage unit after a search of the family's West Bloomfield and Sterling Heights homes, Patch has reported.

The suspects allegedly had been distributing synthetic marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, hydrocodone and marijuana out of their stores for several months prior to the raid.
