Yeadon, Pa. (WTXF) - You could call it a very unhappy 4/20 marijuana holiday for someone in Delaware County. 10 pounds of premium marijuana bound for Yeadon is now in the hands of police.

The large cardboard box arrived by a UPS truck on the tree-lined doorstep of an unsuspecting Yeadon homeowner last week.

Police say 10 pounds of high-grade pot was shipped from Sacramento, California. The bundles stuffed into a plastic bucket, then into a cardboard box and delivered to a home on the 900 block of Longacre Drive, according to police.

The delivery has become the talk of the neighborhood.

Investigators say the woman who got the package of pot is a church pastor. She opened it up inside her Southwest Philadelphia ministry and then called police. She's now worried someone may come back for their stash.

"She is very upset and traumatized and she feels this person or persons who were going to pick this package up might come back," said Yeadon Police Chief Donald Molineux.

Yeadon police say it's happened three times over the past couple years where criminals use someone else's address to mail drugs to themselves.

Yeadon police are now working with UPS to get surveillance video from the drop off location in California to try to track down the sender.

A Piedmont man told sheriff's deputies he received a package containing a 5-gallon bucket of marijuana Tuesday evening.

Jeremy Hicks said he was surprised to receive a large UPS package that had a return address from Los Angeles around 5:45 p.m. Tuesday. He was immediately suspicious as the shipping label listed the sender of the package as someone he didn't know but whose last name is also Hicks, he said.

"When I cut open the package a bucket was wrapped in cellophane and a black garbage bag," Hicks said Wednesday. "I smelled ammonia after cutting into the cellophane and immediately stopped opening it."

He said he was concerned that the package might contain a bomb. Hicks said he called the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office after talking to his neighbor, who is a dispatcher for the county.

The bucket was packed so tightly with marijuana buds that deputies could not extract any, Hicks said.

"I called UPS to complain and they told me that someone had already called to complain about the package being rerouted to me," Hicks said.

Hicks said that he is now in contact with an attorney to pursue legal action against UPS. He said he feels the delivery was either an accident or an attempt at character assassination by someone who knows his past. Hicks was arrested in 2001 for marijuana trafficking and later pleaded guilty to a simple marijuana possession charge.

"I received a lot of death threats from people on the Internet due to my political opinions regarding Jeff Sessions, Mike Rogers and Trump," said Hicks. "Three days before the package was delivered Jeff Sessions said that those convicted of drug crimes should get harsher sentences."

Hicks said the package and the bucket were taken by the deputies. He said deputies put the bucket in the back seat of the patrol car "and strapped it in like a baby."

Chief Deputy Jon Garlick said Wednesday that deputies were investigating the delivery, but had no suspects yet.

UPS spokeswoman Susan Rosenberg said that the company was not aware of any delivery of marijuana in Piedmont. UPS had not been contacted by Hicks or the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office, Rosenberg said.

"We have great relations with law enforcement across the country so we were surprised we hadn't heard from them," Rosenberg said.
