FedEx Not Ideal Marijuana Carrier by Staff
Police have arrested a man they allege attempted to deliver nearly 87 pounds of marijuana to an Illinois home through FedEx.
The Champaign (Ill.) News-Gazette reported Saturday that Lincoln Lee,26, was arrested and charged with felony cannabis trafficking for allegedly sending the large drug shipment from Phoenix to his cousin's home in Rantoul, Ill.
FedEx officials had informed authorities about the box's suspected contents and a sheriff's deputy was used to complete the delivery of the illegal package last Thursday.
After the undercover deputy delivered the package in the guise of a FedEx employee, Lee was arrested after allegedly picking up the package from his relative's home.
The suspect's cousin later admitted she had previously accepted 15 to 20 packages from Phoenix on behalf of her brother, authorities alleged.
The newspaper said both suspects were being held on $100,000 bail, Lee is facing 12 to 30 years in prison if convicted on the felony count.

I think it was a problem with the 87 pounds, not necessarily the carrier.
Thats a lot of marijuana

Yeah you know that shit had to stink too. I don't care what you do to the package 87 lbs of pot is going to wreak like hell. That is probably how they figured out it was mj. I would never send that much through the mail. That was just plain stupidity.
