Atlanta police arrested the owner of a hookah lounge during a drug raid in southeast Atlanta on Thursday, officials said.

Shanta Latice Stewart, 41, of Lithonia, remains in the Fulton County jail on drug and weapons charges. Atlanta police said the woman owns Edgewood Smoke Shop and Hookah Lounge, which sells smoking paraphernalia.

The department’s narcotics unit raided the shop after ongoing investigations confirmed drugs were illegally being sold at the business, officials said.

Investigators found 376 grams of what appeared to be marijuana, 13 containers of THC oil and a gun.

Stewart was inside the business at the time of the raid.
