Up Shit Creek With No Paddle!!
Police Seize 90lbs of Pot Delivered
to Wrong Address
Police in Pennsylvania said a clothing store
manager expecting a shipment of menswear opened
two Fed Ex packages and discovered 90 pounds of
marijuana.
Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael
Chitwood said a 60-pound box was delivered to
the City Blue store Tuesday and a 30-pound box
was delivered the next day. Chitwood estimated
the marijuana was worth about $3,000 per pound.
“In this particular case, we get a legitimate store
employee almost have a heart attack when he sees
what’s delivered and he calls police right away,”
Chitwood told WPVI-TV. Chitwood said the packages
were addressed to the store, but bore the name of a
person who does not work there. He told WCAUTV the sender likely intended for the packages to be
“intercepted” outside of the store. “It’s the Christmas
season,” Chitwood said. “More and more packages are
being delivered so more and more and more attempts
are being made to deliver whether it’s cocaine, heroin
or marijuana.” Police are attempting to locate the
intended recipient of the package. “Somebody is
missing a lot of marijuana,” Chitwood said. The store’s
manager said he plans to take extra precautions for a
while. “On my way home I’ll stick to the main streets,”
he said. “The lighted streets.”

Authorities in Washington state said a suspected mail thief was up a pond
without a paddle when he led a resident on a low-speed kayak chase.
The King County Sheriff’s Office said they received multiple reports about
7:30 a.m. Wednesday about a man in his 30s and a woman in her 20s going
through mailboxes in Sammamish.
Witnesses used their vehicles to box in a car the pair were
allegedly filling with mail and the suspects fled on foot before deputies
arrived. The sheriff’s office said deputies set up a perimeter around the area
and arrested the woman without incident, but the male suspect allegedly
grabbed a kayak from a nearby yard and attempted to flee across a pond.
The man was pursed by another resident with a kayak, who was able to
easily catch up because the suspect neglected to grab a paddle and was
propelling the boat with his hands.
“He was actually going backwards when I talked to him. He was
pushing the water backwards, sitting on the back of the kayak. It was really
a sad sight,” Nolan Conway, the resident who pursued the suspect, told
KOMO-TV. “When I caught up to him, he didn’t say anything. He just
kind of sat there. And he’s like, ‘alright, I’ll come to shore.’”
“The moral of the story is, if you’re going to steal a kayak, steal a
paddle too,” said Nolan Conway’s father, Brian. King County sheriff’s Sgt.
DB Gates told the Seattle Times there was a “large amount of mail” in the
car. The female suspect was arrested on suspicion of mail theft, while the
male suspect was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft and mail theft.
POSTAL WORKER
DELIVERED METH WITH
MAIL
A Texas mail carrier is facing felony charges on allegations he sold meth
out of his U.S. Postal Service truck while on duty.
Authorities said Edward Flores, 39, a 20-year veteran of the Postal
Service and husband of the postmaster in Lorena, Texas, was found by state
investigators and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to be dealing
methamphetamine out of his home and out of his Postal Service truck while
delivering mail in nearby Waco.
Police said they seized $17,000 worth of meth from Flores’ home during
a raid last week. Flores was charged with possession of a controlled substance over
4 ounces, but under 200 ounces, in a drug-free
