Former Aurora smoke shop owner facing drug charges in synthetic marijuana case - Chicago Daily Herald
Almost four years after 19-year-old Max Dobner smoked a synthetic drug and died crashing his car into a North Aurora home, federal prosecutors have announced charges against the former owner and an ex-employee of a mall smoke shop that sold him... Court records indicate she is accused of selling packages of synthetic marijuana to Dobner, an Aurora native. According to court papers, Mohsin is accused of selling Dobner three "one-gram packages" of the "synthetic cannabinoid" on June 14, 2011, for $20. A short time later, investigators said Dobner smoked the drugs, had an adverse reaction and crashed... Dobner's 1999 Chrysler Cirrus was traveling so fast that investigators said it went airborne for about 15 feet after striking a retaining wall, then struck a tree before crashing through the house and lodging in a baby's bedroom. An autopsy determined the drug Mohsin is accused of selling him was in Dobner's bloodstream and no other drugs or alcohol were detected. Investigators said in the criminal complaint against Mohsin and Khan that Dobner bought the drugs at 2:33 p. m. the day of the crash. Dobner crashed his car about 4 p. m. According to court papers, federal authorities said a "concerned citizen" repeatedly warned Mohsin between February and April that local youngsters were buying and using the drugs.
