A woman in South Carolina called police Saturday afternoon after she reportedly received a large package of illegal drugs in the mail, worth around $400,000, instead of the yoga mat she ordered. The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, said she was expecting a yoga mat to be delivered that day and was shocked when she was handed the box full of oxycodone pills, WSOC reported. There were reportedly so many pills in the box that she said they were spilling out of the bag they were packaged in. After opening the box, she called the police and said she didn’t know who would’ve used her name and address, the Rock Hill Herald said. The police reportedly seized the drugs and notified the York County Multijurisdictional Drug Enforcement Unit, who have opened an investigation. Investigators said the box contained two bags with roughly 10,000 pills each, the Herald reported. Each pill is worth around $20 on the street, totaling the entire contents of the box to be worth around $400,000, they said. Drug unit Commander Marvin Brown said the package was likely meant to be delivered to the woman’s previous address, which she recently moved from and is currently vacant, WSOC reported. He said it’s fairly common for dealers to try to send drug shipments under the radar by addressing them to locations they expect to be empty. Somebody on the other side is then expected to track the shipment and pick it up from the location. But the post office reportedly forwarded the box to the woman’s new address after catching a misspelling in the street name. “The dealers weren’t as intelligent as they thought they were,” the drug unit Commander said. Investigators said they’re working to determine where the package, which originated from Newport Beach, Calif., was meant to go and who was supposed to retrieve it, WSOC reported. They also said the pills are likely counterfeit, originating from Mexico. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017...nstead-yoga-mat.html | ||

If they are Mexican counterfeits, then they are worthless. If they aren’t illegal drugs, what’s the problem? Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Would that be hard to sell on the street or anything? Not that I would - I'd probably return it / send it back. But just wondering....

Same as the real thing in many states. When I was in the club business we had a guy in the club trying to pass off GNC vitamins as some sort of drug. The police asked him if he had any more, and he was dumb enough to tell them about the big bottle full out in his car. Charged with possession with intent to distribute due to the quantity. | |||

It was probably supposed to be shipped to her son.......or something like that. It seems to me if You were shipping that volume of oxy, you'd choose a totally vacant house or some other place to ship it to......UPS store p.o. box etc. | |||

Here in yUK she would likely have received just ONE pill, and somebody else would have gotten a delivery of 40,000 yoga mats. tac | |||
