Supreme Terpene, located at 1344 U Street in Northwest, had previously been issued warnings and a cease-and-desist order from the Alcohol Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA).

Officers assisted ABCA with serving the store’s owner with an official closure notice on Thursday, according to a D.C. police news release.

In the store, officers seized nearly 39 pounds of psychedelic mushrooms, more than 22 pounds of marijuana and more than 33 pounds of other THC-containing substances.

Deangela Robinson, 28, and Rayne Parker, 24, both of D.C., were arrested on possession with intent to distribute charges.
