Four New Yorkers were arrested for allegedly selling psychedelic psilocybin mushroom products out of two different Manhattan storefronts, prosecutors announced Thursday.
interested in purchasing them would allegedly pass through a public section of the store and say a code phrase to a receptionist. Buyers were then allegedly directed to a hidden door that led to a back room that contained a counter, an office/storage area and a lounge, and in this area, the customers would allegedly purchase illegal controlled substances, such as psilocybin mushrooms in various forms.
After the alleged second sale on Dec. 20, members of the NYPD’s Narcotics Borough Manhattan South executed a court-authorized search of Come Back Daily, where Phan was present and allegedly identified himself as the owner of the store, and Brake and Fink were also present. The search allegedly uncovered a large quantity of psilocybin mushroom products in various forms, including pills, mushrooms, chocolate bars and gummies, from the back of the store.
Officers allegedly seized almost 1,500 psilocybin mushroom pills packaged inside sealed containers that held 10 or 30 pills each; 59 medium ziplock bags of “Mushie” brand psilocybin mushroom in mushroom form; 24 medium ziplock bags of “Mushie” brand psilocybin gummies; a box containing 35 large chocolate “Polka-Dot” psilocybin mushroom bars, a box containing 8 small “Polka-Dot” psilocybin mushroom bars; 3 yellow wrapper mushroom chocolate bars; and four plastic bags containing psilocybin...
Ahir allegedly identified himself as the owner of the store to arresting officers and was taken into custody that same day. A second “One Up” mushroom chocolate bar containing psilocybin was recovered in a search of the store. “Our intelligence-driven investigation, stemming from community complaints, has put a stop to this criminal activity and demonstrates, once again, that the NYPD and our law enforcement partners will never waver in our fight against the harm caused by illegal drugs,” said Police Commissioner Keechant L. Sewell.
