Two people were also arrested and charged with distribution of synthetic cannabinoids.
Officials say it’s the largest single seizure of synthetic drugs the District has ever seen.
Riyad Market in Petworth will close by November 13th.
Martin is also said to have tried to overturn a man in a wheelchair and yank a baby out of a woman’s arms.
