San Angelo Man Arrested After Shipping Marijuana to Himself

Police said that a San Angelo man carefully packaged eight vacuum-sealed bags of marijuana and marijuana products into a package before heading over to the local UPS store to ship the goodies from Pueblo, Colorado to himself at his San Angelo address. Pueblo police said that you may legally purchase these types of products, and the suspect did, from two separate marijuana dispensaries in Pueblo West, Colorado.

But shipping marijuana to your home in Texas, or anywhere else, is illegal, police said.

UPS flagged the package as suspicious and asked the Pueblo Police Department to investigate. On January 13, 2015, Narcotics Detectives from the Pueblo Police Department took the package, opened it, and through weighing and testing, discovered a total of 8 packages with a total of 9 pounds of high grade marijuana, which has an estimated value of $58,000. There was also approximately $5,000 worth of marijuana products including edibles, cough syrups, transdermal patches and THC “wax.” The total street value of the package was $63,000.

Fortunately, the suspect put his full name and address in San Angelo on the package to be delivered, so he was easy to find once the Pueblo police asked for assistance from the San Angelo police.

On February 4, officers with the SAPD Narcotics Division arrested Johnny Wolfe at his residence in the 2700 block of SAC Ave. Wolfe was booked into Tom Green County Jail on a warrant for Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute with a $100,000 cash only bond.
