An Athens, Tennessee man is held on drug charges for trying to have marijuana shipped through the mail.
Plaise Spangler is being held on a $90,000 bond. Detectives say a business owner received a package containing ten pounds of marijuana. He immediately called police. In the meantime, Spangler called the business to say he had a package delivered to the address and he wanted to come pick it up.
Officers posed as construction workers and arrested Spangler when he picked up the package.

I don't see a date within the source article. Although it seems familiar because it happens all the time.

It seems to be caught quite often when the wrong person gets the package...

10 pounds is a bit much to be mailing, IMHO. No wonder he got busted.

I'll never forget the time I was working with one of the major shippers and an 8lb package of it burst open.
Oh if only I could have been the first to discover that.

Maybe, I suppose I'll never know. If nothing else I would have at least destroyed the label. As it actually went down the police showed up, it was repackaged and then sent on in order to arrest the receiver iirc.
Usually when drugs broke open there they were just from or bound for pharmacies. Perhaps most memorable was when I found a case of 40 bottles of 100 count 2mg alprazolam tablets from Sandoz. I was a good employee and simply repackaged and shipped it on though. heh Aside from liquor that marijuana was the only banned drug containing package I ever witnessed.
Usually people shipping illegal drugs are more careful then that and they are usually way more careful than that guy sending it to some random address.
