Two Georgia women were on Friday arrested after officials caught one of them selling marijuana edibles at a local church event.

The women, Ebony Cooper, 28, and 26-year-old Leah Pressley were arrested at a church in Savannah, Georgia, during an event for entrepreneurs, with vendors selling various items from booths, the Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team said in a Monday statement.

Ebony Cooper who was one of the vendors “was openly selling the edibles in addition to other items,” the CNT said, noting the items included marijuana-infused “cereal treats, brownies, and puddings.”

When Officials then searched Pressley’s car they found “a large amount of edibles and more than $1,000 in cash,” the CNT said, adding a firearm, “which agents believed Cooper had in her possession while selling the items on church property,” was also seized.
