MILFORD, MA — A local salon owner housed much more than tanning beds in her shop, according to police. Siphanomtien Keomorokot, owner of Sunsational Tanning, had 25 pounds of marijuana, 353 pre-loaded THC vape cartridges and 80 edible THC bars shipped to her business and home from California, police said. She was charged with drug possession and intent to distribute drugs.

Keomorokot was arrested at her home on Fruit Street. Her business is located at 206 East Main St.

Police said they do not believe any other employees at the salon were involved in the shipping or distribution of the pot. The packages came from two different California addresses, according to police.
