In relation to ongoing compliance and education efforts with local vape/smoke shops, Boise Police located evidence that two local businesses on the 1700 block of W. State Street and the 6900 block of W. State Street were selling numerous items that are illegal in Idaho. Boise Police officers provided the business owner, Andrew Stanley, with multiple warnings and education about controlled substances and illegal drug paraphernalia under Idaho law with clear instructions for compliance. Despite months long efforts, the illegal sales continued. Evidence shows that Stanley and his employees, including Andrew Fernandez, were involved in the sale of large amounts of items that tested positive for THC. Evidence also shows that the business was selling glass bongs, water pipes, marijuana pipes, edibles, marijuana grinders, scales, concealment devices, dab rigs amongst many other related items.
On Friday, July 25, 2025, officers served a search warrant at both retail store locations. Officers located thousands of items of drug paraphernalia, trafficking amounts of marijuana, Delta 8, 9, and 10 THC products, HHC products, and lab materials to manufacture suspected concentrated cannabis products. Officers also located evidence that the manufactured items were being labeled, packaged, and sold online. Additional charges could result.
Following this lengthy investigation, Stanley and Fernandez were booked into the Ada County Jail on the listed charges.
