Salem man pleads guilty to conspiracy to distribute marijuana and money laundering
A Salem man served as the ringleader of a multimillion-dollar marijuana drug trafficking operation that marketed butane hash oil, THC-infused candy and cereals and psilocybin mushrooms online and then shipped the drugs to customers across the country and overseas.
Investigators set up pole cameras for surveillance and then got warrants last fall to search six properties, including a warehouse and home belonging to 45-year-old Jered Jeremiah Hayward, according to a federal affidavit.
