Gas Pipe owners arrested on federal charges [View all]

DALLAS – After a two-year federal investigation, the owners of the Gas Pipe head shop chain were arrested Wednesday night facing federal charges for conspiring to sell synthetic marijuana.

Gerald "Jerry" Shults and his daughter, Amy Lynn Herrig, are charged with conspiring to sell synthetic marijuana, which is commonly known as K2, Spice or herbal incense.

Both Shults and Herrig deny the allegations.
