BALTIMORE - FedEx prides itself on reliability. But a mistaken delivery tipped off police to a 200-pound shipment of marijuana that someone tried to send from Pembroke Pines, Florida to Baltimore via the shipping company.

Police tell The (Baltimore) Sun they learned about the shipment when it was delivered Tuesday to the wrong resident.


Authorities posed as FedEx employees and arrested the shipment's intended recipient, 30-year-old Richard Gwatidzo.


Officials say he was charged Thursday with possession of a large quantity of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute along with other drug related charges.


Police say they also seized eight other FedEx boxes with nearly 400 pounds of the drug.


Authorities are trying to determine the sender's identity.

My quesiton to you CAGs: would you keep it or turn it in?

keep, give to pot head friends for free.

 

[carpwrist]

it woulda been a Wiid launch party at my place.
I also would have sent some to CheapyD. He sounds pretty desperate over there.

 

[JJSP]

That dude is ED.

I saw something similar to this on National Geographic today. Some guy decided to ship himself some hash (wrapped in a comforter, IIRC) from the Philippines, and got busted when he went to pick it up at the post office in Seoul, Korea. Spent like 3.5 years in jail.

Moral of the story: Got any enemies? Want to make them go away for a while? Mail them some weed.

It said he had a large quantity of a dangerous drug. I thought he had 200 lbs of pot?

I have known people who got LSD fedEx'd, but how in the name of god do you keep 200 lbs of pot from not stinking like Hippieland?

 

[lmz00]

I'm assuming it'd have to be vacuum sealed.

 

[Kendal]

It would have to be some thick ing plastic. That shit has to stink. I mean 200 lbs. That is a ton of cheeb to hide.

 

[crunchb3rry]

I'd keep it. There's no reward for shit like this.

It's eventually going to get smoked. That's its destiny.

Same, nothing says you're a friend like a 200 pound gift

 

[Chase]

Is there a money reward? I'd probably hold out until they post a money reward.

 

[crzyboy88]

I was reading this story in the paper and I was surprised. Guess you shouldn't smoke and send...

 

[Reality's Fringe]

I laughed at referring to marijuana as a controlled "dangerous" substance. Only if you have any uneaten peanut butter and an inconsiderate pot-smoking roomate.

That being said, people mail controlled substances all the time. Just not...200lbs worth. I can't imagine sending 91kg of nose candy via DHL or something.

It's been a fun week here in Baltimore... Not much to give back anymore.

half of it is probably back out on the street now making it's rounds for the feds!

 

[Sporadic]

I like the FedEx guy because he's a drug dealer and he don't even know it...plus he's always on time!

 

[tiredfornow]

Damn, thats a lot of herb just to have show up randomly at your house. :lol:

Puff, puff, pass, jerk!

 

[ratzombie]

I know a CAG who would keep it.
