Mohammad Zalloum, 19, of Lafayette, and Raja Jamaleddin, 45, of Alexandria, were arrested Tuesday by Louisiana State Police at two different Lafatette smoke shops.
Zalloum, of Candle Hookah Smoke Shop, is charged with 4,790 counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, which is suspected to be Nitrous Oxide. He was released on a $2,500 bond, according to online jail records.
Jamaleddin, of Old Smokey Smoke Shop in Lafayette, was charged with 525 counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, also suspected to be Nitrous Oxide. He was released on a $10,000 bond.
