A Putnam County business owner and his employee are facing drug charges after a major synthetic drug bust.
David Bowen, the owner of Second Time Around Music Emporium, and employee Jessica Staton are facing numerous felony charges of delivery of a controlled substance. More charges could be filed.
Officers also say they were dealing prescription pills out of the business.
