Two men were behind bars Thursday, accused of trafficking marijuana out of clothing stores on Miami Beach.
Nicholas Cunningham and Simon Mills were arrested Wednesday and charged with possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking, along with other felony charges.
Police served two search warrants on two clothing stores, both named Kush Gods, after getting complaints of possible drug trafficking.

"These businesses are now closed until they’re able to show that they’re not going to be operating illegally," Rodriguez said.
