UPS mistakenly delivers 30 pounds of pot to Denton man
HELLOOOOOO!
When an address didn't exist in Dallas, UPS assumed that perhaps the addresser meant Denton. Such is how a Denton man discovered a package containing a 30-pound brick of compressed marijuana on his front porch Monday. When he realized it wasn't the Sears tools he ordered, he took the chronic to the police department.
The package, addressed from Pharr, TX, had a street value of $10,500.

If I received 30 kilos of pot in the mail, I'd have to think long and hard about whether to turn it into the police or not.
Also, thinking about it some, did the police compare the weight of the pot turned in with the weight in the UPS database? Are they sure that it wasn't delivered as a 60 pound brick..?

30 lbs=$10,500? Definitely not Sunday gauge...

Judging from the pics and video from NBC 5 - and the fact that it came from Pharr - this just looks like a load of Mexican headache weed:
