A Wisconsin mom whose sons ran a THC vape cartridge ring was busted for her role in the multimillion-dollar enterprise, authorities said.

Courtney Huffhines, 43, was charged Tuesday in Kenosha County on six felony drug-related counts in the large-scale scheme to produce counterfeit vape cartridges, news station WTMK-TV reported.

Her two sons — Tyler Huffhines, 20, and Jacob Huffhines, 23 — were charged last month in the illegal vaping manufacturing business deemed by authorities to be the “largest of its kind.”

Prosecutors said the enterprise operated out of the mom’s real estate office in Union Grove.

“We believe she is right in the mix of this entire operation,” Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth told news station Fox6 Now.

Courtney allegedly then used a stolen identity to help move the illegal business to a condo in Bristol.

“She had rented it, ultimately, to her two boys under a fake name,” Beth said.

Authorities raided both locations and discovered more than 30,000 vape cartridges filled with THC, as well as nearly 100,000 Mason jars filled with THC oil.

Inside the realty office, there were cooking pots, hot plates, vape cartridges and latex gloves that were used as supplies in the business, officials said.

“When they did the search warrant, investigators called me and said, ‘We hit the mother lode here,'” Beth told Fox6 Now. “They said, ‘This is one of the labs.'”

Text messages between Courtney and her sons revealed they shared articles about the recent vaping health crisis in the days prior to the bust, prosecutors said.

“Might need to look into another business,” one message read.

Courtney was released Tuesday on $100,000 bail and scheduled to appear next in court on Oct. 11, according to court records.
