(CBS 5) OAKLAND A Lafayette man is facing charges of distributing marijuana in packaging made to resemble brand-name candies and other products, after a series of arrests Thursday by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

The DEA says 39-year-old Kenneth Affolter, along with 11 other unidentified individuals, were arrested after agents served a number of warrants in at warehouses in Oakland and Emeryville and at Affolter's residence in Lafayette.

Agents say they seized thousands of plants from four marijuana growing operations, a large amount of currency, three firearms and hundreds of pot-laced candies and soft drinks.

The DEA says the probe began in October 2005, investigators learned Affolter was allegedly operating Beyond Bomb, a manufacturer of marijuana candy in Oakland. The marijuana-laced products were packaged to mimic well-known brands.

Among the products labels seized: Stoney Ranchers, Munchy Way, Rasta Reece’s, Buddafingers, Pot Tarts, Double Puff Oeo, Tri-Chrome Crunch, Keef Kat, Twixed, Budtella, Puff-A-Mint Pattie, Puffsi, Bong’s Root Beer, and Toka-Cola.
The investigation is a joint effort among the DEA and other federal and local law enforcement, including the police departments from Richmond, Oakland, Vallejo and Lafayette.
