UPS package containing 14 pounds of pot leads to Orlando man's arrest [CLERMONT]

Lake County sheriff's detectives arrested an Orlando man on drug-trafficking charges following a tip provided by UPS officials in Louisville, Kentucky, who had intercepted a package containing 14 pounds of marijuana.
The package was destined for a Groveland residence and was addressed to a fake recipient. The actual intended recipient was Omar Brown, 28, of Lowkey Drive, Orlando, who was wanted in Brevard County for violating probation on marijuana charges, Lake County Sheriff's Sgt. John Herrell said.
Authorities delivered the package to the Groveland address and then stopped a vehicle that left the residence about a minute later. The driver of the vehicle cooperated with detectives, arranging to meet in a Clermont parking lot with Brown to hand over the package.
Brown drove around the parking lot in a silver Dodge for two hours before cancelling. Deputies nonetheless stopped him at a nearby root-beer stand.
Detectives estimated the street value of the weed at $14,000.

If he didn't accept the package and wasn't breaking the law then what grounds are there for the arrest-- other than the previous parole violation?
really they should REQUIRE ex-cons to smoke weed, it would help them chill out and spend more money on food and less money on alcohol or worse stuff:D

well besides the previous parole violation... if they can connect him to the deal (which they can as the man who picked up the package cooperated) they got him for conspiracy. you don't necessarily have to commit a crime to be breaking the law, if they can prove you were planning on breaking the law (at least for murder, kidnapping, etc, I'm really not sure about drugs but i'm pretty sure there's a conspiracy to commit drug felony)

I doubt it would even go for that. It's most likely shwag, which goes for about 300 an elbow. So more realisticly it's about 4 g's.

the dude was really hurting for a good hook up! I would hate to know I had to go to that kind of B.S. to get 14 lbs of skank weed. Does anyone really smoke that shit anymore?

So I still don't get how UPS was "tipped off" that the weed was in the package. Did they open it? And what reason would they have to open someone's mail?

I'm pretty sure they have to right to open up any package they deem suspicious. You have no rights, I don't get why you people think just cos some piece of paper says this or that the government is not going to spy on you. GET YOUR TIN FOIL HATS

Why put it in government hands when you can give it to underpayed, under-appreciated employees with a private organization that has no obligation to the government?
giving a package like that to USPS is like saying "here uncle sam, dare you to guess whats inside..."

Sounds like this guy never had any drugs but was arrested anyway? That doesn't make much sense. If the police tapped the phones they might have him on conspiracy or "intent to possess" though I imagine.

Nice
UPS and FedEx can open whatever packages they want anytime they want, while USPS requires a warrant. Its kind of like how the cable guy or gas man can search your house but the cops need a warrant.

I've worked as a package handler for the past 4 years for both UPS and FedEx Ground
and I can say that it is perfectly safe. This guy fucked up by trying to send 14
pounds at once.
