Why did he need to give the officer money before being arrested?

I've heard much better "busted for receiving a shipment of drugs, via UPS, etc" stories than this. The toaster part is funny, though.
Okay, you drug dealers out there doing your transactions through legitimate shipping services, here’s the rules.
1: Mr. Drug Shipper, your main goal is to not go to jail.
2: Your secondary goal is to get paid.
3: If you can’t suffer the loss of payment, do not sell drugs.
4: When you are the shipper, use a false address and phone number. Wear rubber gloves and whatnot while packaging the goods, and other etc.
Precautions to protect yourself.
5: Mr. Drug Buyer (Receiver), your main goal is the same as Mr. Drug Shipper. To not go to jail.
6: Your secondary goal is to receive the drugs without getting busted.
7: Here’s a little hint. When Stoner, the drug dog sniffs out the goods to be delivered to you, Deputy Fife needs more evidence than merely the package arriving at your door. Since it could be in error, and they want a tight case, they’ll play a scheme with you to make a complete connection. So,
8: If, at any point the shipping company calls you, someone contacts you, shows up to scratch his ass and question the package, or any other event happens other than said package arriving, DENY ANY CONNECTION with having ordered anything from anyone. Use phrases such as “Well, unless it’s free stuff from Adam and Eve, I didn’t order anything. And they’ve never sent me free stuff before, so it must be someone else’s.”
9: Upon receiving the package with no mysterious happenings, Let it sit about unopened for a few days. If everything’s cool after that proceed.
10: If you see a squad car pull up after you open it, call 911 and exclaim “Send out the police! Somebody sent me what looks like illegal drugs! Dope, or Something! I want the bastard caught!”

@ Okay: Plausible deniability versus conclusive evidence. LEOs prefer the latter.

cheese&rice, LGL!
You gave us everything, but what color bow to put on it! LOL!

@LGL ... too much time on your hands this morning?

"This is my package" = dumb award.
480 grams = about one pound. That's a "large amount" of marijuana?

Thanks LGL...I promise to bear all that in mind when I send / receive my next shipment of drugs by way of USPS, UPS or Fed Ex.
NOT!!!

cwm2, unfortunately, yes. I went to work sick as a dog, and they sent me home. Now just waiting around miserably until my Dr appointment at 2:45. Fortunately afterwards, I'll be making a perfectly legal drug transaction at the pharmacy. And I won't have to wait for the FedEx guy.

Did he live in a joint in a seedy part of town?

Idiot. Everyone knows you ship weed in an air pot.

Pot in the pot? What's the world coming to!
Posted by: Charles | Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 01:28 PM
LGL has it down, but I would add packing the stash in sealed thermos bottles. Stoner the sniffy dog won't make it past that. Hasn't failed me yet.

Easily, the editorial is really the freshest topic on this related issue.This was a really great read.

That was very nice job for a dog. This incident reminds me of my shifting from Los Angles to New York house where the hero was my dog who helped us catch a thief who was trying to steal our items.
