2 UPS Employees Arrested With Nearly 40 Pounds Of Marijuana Street Value Of Haul Esti

NEW YORK (CBS 2) — Looks like someone working for brown was trying to go green. Sources told CBS 2 on Friday that one special delivery ended up with two UPS workers behind bars. Sources said police started investigating the UPS facility on Foster Avenue following a tip. While watching the place Thursday morning, sources said undercover officers became suspicious when they noticed driver Ruben Jordan loading a box onto a truck he wasn’t assigned to. Sources said police continued to watch the truck after Jordan went off duty and left. That’s when another driver, Alexis Herve, allegedly drove it to a dead-end street, where he found Jordan, 44, waiting with another man and a minivan. Herve, 52, allegedly gave the package to Jordan, who loaded it into the minivan. That’s when police moved in. Inside the package, police found three five gallon buckets from Home Depot stuffed with marijuana, sources said. The pot — nearly 40 pounds of it — has a street value of almost $60,000. Police also recovered tens of thousands of dollars on the front seat of the minivan. Both drivers and the non-UPS employee were arrested. All three face drug charges. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/08/17/two-ups-employees-arrested-with-nearly-40-pounds-of-marijuana/

What can brown do for you when they're getting their green stolen by the boys in blue?

40 pounds and only 60k street value? either that is some shit weed or really outta date pigs.

^ its got to be shitty weed. 40 pounds in 3 5 gallon buckets had to be super bricked up. cops finally get the price close to what it would be. whenever they bust things on the border they always come up with some insane price it could go for

Shitty weed, broken down to say $25 a quarter, would net $64,000 for 40lbs. Decent mids at $30 an eigth would earn $153,600, and dank buds at $60 and eigth bring in $307,200.

40lbs. worth 60,000.00 Sounds like some really shitty east coast weed. I wonder what part of Texas it was shipped from?? I'm sure it was destined for the New York ghettos. symetre

LOL 60,000 only for 40 pounds? what a joke, that cant be right. even for poo ass weed cops still lie about how much its worth on news usually, usually they say wayy higher than its worth.

Bricks in buckets? 40 lbs.? I'm thinking 4 lbs. homegrown $6000.
