Schoenhofer was arrested and booked at the Klamath County Jail on six charges, including exporting marijuana, exporting extract, possession of a controlled substance-marijuana, and distribution of a controlled substance-marijuana, possession of a controlled substance-extract, and distribution of a controlled substance-extract.
Through the investigation, investigators learned that the marijuana and BHO extract were destined for Ohio, where the musician is originally from.
