Plea Negotiations Continue for Family Charged With Selling K2

Five members of the Dabish family are charged with selling K2 and other drugs out of a Shelby Township gas station and smoke shop.

Four members of the Dabish family, who are charged with selling K2 and other drugs out of a Shelby Township gas station and smoke shop following a raid of the businesses, are in plea negotiations with prosecutors, according to Macomb Circuit Court Documents.

The four members of the family in plea negotiations, and a fifth member who is charged but is in state custody, were to appear in Macomb Circuit Court Thursday before Judge Mark Switalski for a pretrial conference. The hearing was adjourned until July 31 for plea negotiations according to court documents.

Investigators allege they found K2—which was illegal at the time of the raid—at the gas station and in the Woodstock Tobacco store. Additional searches found cocaine and packages of K2 in an apartment located below the smoke shop,  and a Sterling Heights storage shed where investigators later found between 750 and 1,000 packages of K2.

Derick Dabish, 31, Faize Dabish, 63, David Dabish, 39, Audrick Dabish, 18, and Dedrick Dabish, 17, are facing charges including delivering and manufacturing controlled substances, maintaining a drug house and possession of a controlled substance.
