Man charged after receiving 42 pounds of marijuana in mail
May 14, 2011 Staff Reports Niagara Gazette
NIAGARA FALLS — A Falls man faces federal charges after receiving a package that contained 42 pounds of marijuana Friday.
David Mitchell, 23, 1112 Garden Ave., is being charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and faces federal prosecution.
He was arrested Friday following a joint investigation by Niagara Falls Narcotics detectives and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, according to Detective Lt. Bryan DalPorto.
“We picked him up when he took delivery of (the package),” he said, noting the arrest was made without incident.
DalPorto said police received information that packages filled with marijuana were being sent into the city and set up the joint investigation with postal officials.
The packages were being sent from a Texas address.
While it’s believed the postal shipments were an isolated incident, DalPorto said an investigation is continuing.

That sucks, I would be nervous as hell receiving anything like that through a delivery service. I prefer me and my car to go get stuff, especially 42lbs.

lol 42 pounds is wayyyyy too much to be sending through the mail IMO. I know people do it all the time but then again things like this happen all the time too.

42 pounds is kinda excessive for mailing. 1-5 pounds and your safe so long as you don't get tipped off but 42 is like a flip of the coin.

Yeah, shipping that much weight through the mail is risky indeed, as we see here. He shoulda just driven down there to Texas to pick it up instead.

I don't get why they don't send out 2 packages - one person sends 1 package with a marijuana filled microwave and some other person sends a bread-maker with no drugs like 2 days later so that when the receiver receives the package and the authorities try to arrest him he could say that he was waiting for a bread-maker which will appear true when the bread-maker arrives 2 days later. And as for the other package he could have said that it was an address mistake as that does happen like we've all seen. I've noticed that most people who send drugs through mail have no backup plan...

Everyone should check out Afroman.
Because I Got High is a catchy song but it's not very complex and there isn't much variation.
He has MUCH better songs:
