The investigation began after multiple community complaints involving four locations operating under the name Fun Kosh Smoke Store, which authorities say all share the same owner, Emad Aldin Jaddou.
On Dec. 9, 2025, MCSO Vice and MOCONET carried out an undercover operation at the stores. Investigators confirmed that all four Fun Kosh Smoke Store locations—24980 U.S. Highway 59 in New Caney; 6267 Waukegan Road in Conroe; 203 West Davis Street in Conroe; and 715 East Davis Street in Conroe—sold THC vape pens to underage buyers. As a result, search warrants were issued for all four businesses.
The warrants were executed simultaneously on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025, by MCSO’s Organized Crime Division, MOCONET, Vice detectives, and the Conroe Police Department. During the searches, law enforcement seized a total of 143 THC vape pens.
Authorities arrested store owner Emad Aldin Jaddou along with store clerks Izabeau Gonzales, Breanna Cullins, and Brenda Collins. All are accused of selling illegal THC vape pens to minors.
As of Sept. 1, 2025, Texas law makes it a Class A misdemeanor for any business to market, advertise, or sell e-cigarette products containing cannabinoids—including hemp-derived substances such as CBD, THCA, and Delta-8 THC—to anyone of any age.
