Five members of the Dabish family accused of selling K2 and other drugs out of a Shelby Township gas station and smoke shop were bound over Wednesday to stand trial in Macomb Circuit Court.

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.

Community members looking to raise awareness of the ongoing synthetic drug problem in Shelby Township are planning a rally for March 28 outside 41A District Court.
When the family accused of selling K2 and other drugs out of a Shelby Township gas station and smoke shop return to court this month, they will be met with an audience rallying for their prosecution. More than two dozen residents from Shelby Township, Utica and neighboring communities gathered Monday at King of Kings Church on Schoenherr to discuss the growing issue of synthetic drugs and formulate a game plan to address the sale and use of these substances on a local level. “If we work together, I think we can make a difference,” said Shelby Township resident Bill Miskokomon, who organized a rally outside Express Gas and Woodstock Tobacco last year. “We need to show the state we’re not playing around and we want this out of our …

“We’re working with the prosecutor and state crime lab and we’re asking parents to be vigilant with their kids," Police Chief Roland Woelkers said.
Since orchestrating the largest narcotics bust in Shelby Township history last Halloween, police have made the search for synthetic marijuana a part of their regular patrol duties. And while things have been fairly quiet since that landmark event, which saw five members of the Dabish family arrested, Chief Roland Woelkers said the issue of synthetic marijuana remains high on the department’s radar. “We’re regularly checking businesses and there are some things we’ve found that we’re not comfortable or happy with, but the state health department and state crime lab have not determined them to be illegal,” Woelkers said. While state law now bans the sale of K2, Spice and similar synthetic drugs, manufacturers are continuing to develop new …

Five members of the Dabish family are facing felony charges stemming from allegations that they sold synthetic marijuana and other drugs from their gas station and smoke shop in Shelby Township.
An organized effort to rally the community against the family accused of selling K2 and other drugs out of a Shelby Township gas station and smoke shop began to manifest itself last weekend in the comments section of a Patch article concerning the case. From a boycott of the family's Shelby Township businesses, to a rally outside the 41A District Court in opposition of possible plea deals, readers offered a number of suggestions to publicize the case and call for justice. "As a community we need to rally against these hooligans and demand our local prosecutor to not accept any reduced pleas," wrote Sarah Franklin. "Nothing less than maximum incarceration is acceptable. Lets make sure as many of us as possible contact the Court and the …

Five family members are facing felony charges stemming from allegations that they sold synthetic marijuana and other drugs from the Citgo Gas Station, now Express Gas, and Woodstock Smoke Shop on Van Dyke in Shelby Township.
The case involving five family members accused of selling K2 and other drugs out of a Shelby Township gas station and smoke shop has been postponed until March for purposes of discovery.

The family was scheduled for their preliminary exam Thursday before Judge Douglas P. Shepherd in 41-A District Court. Having previously waived their 14-day right to a preliminary examination, Shepherd approved defense attorney Ron Marsh's request to adjourn the exam to allow additional time for case information to …
