NYPD Chief Bratton And US Attorney Bharara Announce Charges Against Synthetic Marijuana Manufacturers

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 16: Preet Bharara, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, speaks at a news conference with other law enforcement heads where it was announced that the Federal and New York City authorities have broken up a group that trafficked in synthetic marijuana, known as K2 on September 16, 2015 in New York City. The drug, which has become widely used among New York City's homeless population, is both cheap and potentially life threatening.
