Criminals try mailing 6 pounds of marijuana

TALLADEGA, Ala. - A package addressed from "Grandpa Henderson" in San Diego, Calif., to "Grandma Henderson" in Talladega, Ala., wasn't ordinary mail, and it wasn't picked up by any grandmother.

The package aroused suspicions among Talladega postal inspectors, who contacted the Talladega County drug task force. Task force commander Jason Murray said a trained drug-detection dog singled out the package, and law enforcement officers waited for someone to pick it up.

Three men did that Saturday. They were stopped after they left the post office, and officers found more than 6 pounds of marijuana in the package.

Murray said the three have been charged with trafficking in marijuana.

Every time you post I just end up staring at your avatar... On topic, that is just hilarious. You would think that they could have used better fake names.yentlequible

I would have used a different avatar, but someone's already using it. This avy is my third or fourth one.

On-topic, I can't imagine how they could think such a stunt could work...it's like they were begging to be caught.:P

What I want to know is if they left a return address.

I always thought the best way to mail illegal drugs is to hide them in something, such as a television or something. Especially when it's 6 pounds of marijuana...

Should have gone UPS my bro says they don't care about inspectingX360PS3AMD05

The USPS is super strict about this kind of stuff. When I first started working with them they gave me a tour of the facilities, and the sorting center actually has a huge machine dedicated to detecting things like this. Pretty idiotic people.

That is exactly why they are criminals. ferrari2001

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Yes, it does...even though no one is there to hear it, doesn't mean that sound doesn't exist.

Easy enough...Lightning strikes 20 miles away, you see the flash, but hear no thunder. The soundwave merely traveled in a different direction, or it was simply too weak to hear.

What n00bs...-Sun_Tzu-

:lol:

I agree...and I miss your old avy, Sun_Tzu.

I don't know how state law regulates sales and transportation, like whether you can mail yourself itlamprey263

State law cannot...postal regulations are federal.

Addressing it to 'Grandma' or slipping something inside a fake birthday card/present is the oldest trick in the book... People think it's clever, but then everyone thinks of the same thing rendering it quite obvious...

lol the names are hilarious to me :lol:
